Still, it is good to know that it is possible to install Trojans onto people's machines, and have them act occasionally by clicking onto (your) ads on those parked domains (without conversion). How the heck you catch this?
Should we ask AdWords about it? Well, we all know that the response will be a dry copy/paste about how the system is always filtering, doing something about quality, whatever...
...but... maybe we should still make them aware that WE KNOW.
