There was just a thread from a banned AdSense publisher.

It was found out in the discussion, that he collected email subscriptions since years and sent to all of them a message about his new site release.

Strange traffic programs had been mentioned many times in "I got banned" threads.

Yes, they care. Automatic traffic programs are prohibited by the TOC. They'd be justified in dropping an AdSense site they felt was getting automated clicks.

Yes of course they care about where the traffic comes from.
You don't want bad traffic yourself, and Google also doesn't want bad traffic.
