Yeah!! BitDefender has detected a new Trojan that hijacks Google text advertisements, replacing them with ads from a different provider. The replacement ads could also contain links to sites with malicious code. The Trojan, dubbed Trojan.Qhost.WU, modifies the infected computers’ hosts file and redirects Google’s AdSense link to a different address.

So guys, go and check your Adsense links!! Make sure the ID is yours or!! :>

My two cents: This is probably just the beginning of further similar attacks on Adsense.
