    I am having a problem right now I do not know if it is my computer that I have spyware on or if it is something with my servers or something with Google.

    For all of my websites my adsense turns into other ads after a few seconds to cheap looking advertisements that say spyware has infected your PC click here now. There is no google tag on it what so ever. I think even if it is spyware on my side that it is interesting they are targeting adsense to get people to click to their spyware cleaners, etc. I am including a link below to one of my sites for you to check out if you can to help me out to make sure it is not something that has infiltrated my servers. I am going to reformat my office PC today but thanks in advance for helping me figure out this problem.

    Well it is on Godaddy servers and I did a check through my servers through our other computer in our office and scanned everything on it and I am 99.9 percent sure it isn't on our servers. I think it is from the one computer in our office that has the spyware but it isn't connected into our servers or never uploads anything. I have people looking it over now but I think it is interesting that spyware is using your javascript to do such things which if it is a pretty common spyware file that gets infected by a good amount of people then that is something that can bring down earnings.

    Yeah figured out that it was the PC that they were on. It was reformatted and cleaned up with a new hardrive put it and problem fixed. I think it is interesting that they are targeting google ads. I went on a large website that I knew used google ads before we reformatted and it did same thing with there website. So it was spyware that was converting all google ads to there spyware ads.

    It sounds similar to the WinFixer trojan's method of conning people into downloading it onto a compromised machine. I suggest you check you're using the latest version of all your browsers and plugins, etc, because this sort of thing tends to be designed to get around your antivirus.

    I actually had Avast Anti-Virus on the computer in the office that we saw it on and then the others had McAfee and had nothing and they were all connected through the same Wi-Fi network. The problem is taken care of now but all browsers and everything was up to date on the PC. I think google should take a look at the ads too because if there are a lot of spyware going around to trick people to click the ads. The PC that had been infected did have updated version of Avast and updated firefox browser.
