    AdSense integrated into the template is fine, but if the ads just appeared then they'll not be using your pub-ID - someone else will be earning from your clicks!

    EDIT: Naughty CountryBoy - see my next reply.

    According to the adsense program policies it says clearly

    No AdSense code may be integrated into a software application.

    The above is a screenshot of a software application. The black behind it is my desktop and the front is the software running.

    Ah yes, you're right - I mistook it for a template like my post above indicated. So if you've read the policies, why are you asking? No-one here knows better than what's in print!

    sorry for the post CountryBoy but i have never seen something like this before. I thought that maybe the adword users find it usefull to see how they are loosing money (and i am one of them).

    No, I've never seen it either, but it's clearly in violation. Right click on an ad unit and get their publisher-ID - once you've done that report it to Google and also send them the link where you downloaded that software.

    I do not think thier account will be around for long. I am sure google will see where clicks come from and ban the account.
