    I have a proxy site (the one in my sig) and someone keeps changing the adsense code to their own. Have any of you experienced this or do you know what I should do? Please help as i am losing money and I am getting really pissed off.

    How exactly are they changing the code to their own? Does anyone else have access to the site (and are you sure of that?)

    Google wont help much I dont think, you should not share your acess with anyone and maybe you should think about moving to a more secure host if it continues.

    I keep changing the pub id back to mine and yet about an hour or two later, it goes back to this other one. I have checked logs i have done everything I can think of to stop this. I got a response from google and they told me that the pub id I showed them was an invalid one. Then how do the ads still sow up on my site after the pub id was changed?

    Change your ftp, and all other passwords, get rid of all insecure scripts on your server, and check your logs for unauthorized access.

    I was actually checking for TOS violators. I then went to the section of my admin panel that I add the ad code and I noticed it was changed.
