Since a few days, I am seeing weird AdSense ads on sites across the Internet. I have scanned my computer for virus, spyware. Javascript is enabled. Ths issue is not only with my websites but most of the websites but not all. I have tried uninstalling my antivirus, tried closing all programs, changed browsers, deleted temp files cookies but nothing helped. Attached is the screenshot of the ads I see. Oh yes, I am unable to see link ads as well. Update: This is happening on websites which use the new AdSense code. Websites with old AdSense code seem to look fine.
I do not know if this guarantees ads looking like that, but a few weeks ago when I put the AdSense code in without specifying the dimensions in the HTML, my adsense looked just like that.
Nothing to wory about it it happens when we haven't specified any of the attributes like color or anthing like that. It happened loooong before but it changed when I created a new ad unit.
Hey I can say that is not an ad of premium publishes. I got some ads like that before and I am not even a average publisher at that time.
that's some cool little adware someone wrote and infected you with. Bet he's making a killing. answer: switch to linux. won't cost you a penny I don't think any replies actually understood your problem. If windows is your OS, spybot search and destroy (or similar) would hopefullysolve your problems. I doubt it's a virus, probably malware of sorts. It's probably OS level since you can change browsers and the ads are still there. Do the ads move around the page or are they in one spot for every page? Is it just html, php, asp, etc extensions? Check a .txt or even a root folder (domain.com/) with no page at the end. edit: download and try some obscure browser. Something that has 0.01% marketshare. See if it's attaching directly to the major browsers. View a page in some other application. Like pspad (text editor) has an internal browser they use. If you have the full version of PDF you can download a web page. I'm sure one of the applications in openoffice will have an internal browser.
