For now, users just need to be careful not to download and install any trojan or virus in their PC so they won't be affected by this.

That is, it changes only the Adsense ads seen by the person with an infected PC. Based on what other people are reporting, the trojan only affects the local computer.

That way only your torrent program can open it 2) usually the torrent has a list of files to be downloaded. only download those which you want to. good thing i haven’t experienced this yet.

anyway, two advice regarding torrents:
1) make sure that when you click on it, it has the .torrent extension. That way only your torrent program can open it

2) usually the torrent has a list of files to be downloaded. only download those which you want to.

As boddah explained, it affects the local computer which means all Google Adsense ads accessed by the infected PC will have fake ads. It affects the earnings of the publisher because he/she will not get anything in case the fake ads on his site were clicked by a person with the infected PC. Hi Fitz, it’s actually more of A.

Just make sure your PC is protected and that you scan it for viruses, spyware, adware, etc. every time you use bittorrent.
