Google Adsense problems?

[JayStil]

Is there some way to gain a little control over Adsense? For some reason it serves me 90% of my ads in an Eastern European language. I think it might be Russian but I'm not sure. I know I can run Adblock but I'd rather that the sites I visit and like not lose out on the $$.

I've scanned with both Malwarebytes and Spyware S&D and both come up clean.

For an example here's the current banner ad I see here:

Any ideas?

It goes based off other sites you have visited (aka behavioral targeting)

If you go to the ad your will see a little blue triangle point to it and you will see the ad choices logo. Click on it and you can turn off behavioral targeting off there.

Well that's the thing. The 10% of the time that I get a regular Ad it's like you said, with a blue arrow to opt out. But the Russian? ones don't have that (see the capture above), and I've never visited foreign sites to my knowledge, porn or otherwise. That's why I suspect some type of hijack. Malwarebytes did find a few things the first time I ran it, but the behavior remains and current scans come up clean.

Thanks for the reply.

Lightbeam addon for Firefox allowed me to figure it out. They were coming from aceadsys.net - I assume a "gift" from an AcePlayer install. Blocked the site and they're gone. Thank God, it was driving me batty.
