could askjeeves be messing with my adsense?

my page 'framed' by jeeves shows unrelated ads

I noticed that jeeves shows other websites within a frameed page.
I have a 'ad pages' script on my homepage and within the frame at jeeves it is showing ads for computer-tec stuff which is totally unrelated to my content.
I am putting a frambuster in but I.m wondering if this could have been messing with my adwords relevancy.
I noticed that often my 'ad pages' would show only one instead of 5 links for a while but that seems to have stabalized lately.

This was a big concern starting September of last year and was discussed at length on this thread

I.m amazed that the thread ended so quick with a response like that from the google rep

Thanks to everyone who sent emails! It was a big help.
What appears to be modified by AskJeeves is the 'Ads By Goooooogle' link, which has a referrer inserted for the AskJeeves search results page from which a site is viewed from. However, the ad URLs themselves aren't being modified. Hopefully this will be reassuring news.
Several publishers have noted that AJ strips sites of the Google ads. Could someone clarify as to whether that means the Google ads are actually disappearing from the pages, or that the code's being modified (as described in the previous paragraph)?
Also, if you're concerned about the ads being mis-targeted when framed through AskJeeves (which they most likely are), I recommend updating your ad code with the special frames code found in your AdSense account as others have already mentioned.
Thanks everyone!

lets analyze this a bit

Also, if you're concerned about the ads being mis-targeted when framed through AskJeeves (which they most likely are), I recommend updating your ad code with the special frames code found in your AdSense account as others have already mentioned.

so I should check the 'use googleads in frames' box so that jeeves can display my pages in frames?

I have contacted the adsense team several times relating to this issue and to vent my concerns, I have since added a frame buster code to my pages to stop ask jeeves from showing non related ads or adding a border round my ads and making the page layout look awful.

The code below also stops your sites graphics from being framed when anyone has searched using google images

Place the code before the closing </HEAD> tag of your web page to stop your pages from being framed on another site

I use this one (adsense compatible)
<body onload="if (self!= top) top.location = self.location">

</body>
