Brandon,

Be certain to complain to Google Adsense and maybe they can do something to affect their account as this is plainly against their ToS…

Google also has a page on what you might be able to do…

Good luck.

Hi Brandon,

Yes. This certainly is extremely bad news. I’m not surprised as this seems to be part and parcel with the whole Google AdSense greed thing. Go after these guys and be very firm. Personally I do not trust their “Spyware and Virus Free” logo or “award” either. If they steal content why would they stop there by issueing an award they don’t actually do anything to verify – i.e. the infection status of an app’.
