Disabling AdSense on our site

I have a relatively weird question.

I have an encrypted ASP tool on my website. It runs Google AdSense which would be fine, except that this tool is on a company server which is password protected at the IIS level. We do not want our information and company secrets poured into the AdSense sandbox. How would we go about stopping AdSense from reporting back to Google and sending the ads back? Also, since we talk about our company in the tool, it shows us ads that are ours. We do not want company employees clicking on those ads and costing us money.

Any thoughts?

Is there a reason why you are not removing AdSense from those pages?

You can't. Not if you want ads.

Filter your url in your AdSense account and you won't get your ads.

I don't really understand the situation, but the AdSense bot ("Mediapartners") will only spider the pages on which ads appear. Of course Googlebot and many many other spiders, will download everything they can find, but if your secrets are password protected there should be no way for any spider to get at them.
