Bad News: Google Adsense Account Disabled

This is the first e-mail I read today (around 07.25 a.m.)

It has come to our attention that invalid clicks have been generated on
the Google ads on your site(s). We have therefore disabled your Google
AdSense account. Please understand that this step was taken in an
effort to protect the interest of the AdWords advertisers.

A publisher's site may not have invalid clicks on any ad(s), including
but not limited to clicks generated by:

- a publisher on his own web pages
- a publisher encouraging others to click on his ads
- automated clicking programs or any other deceptive software
- a publisher altering any portion of the ad code or changing the
layout, behavior, targeting, or delivery of ads for any reason

Practices such as these are in violation of the Google AdSense Terms
and Conditions and program polices, which can be viewed at:

https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms?hl=en_US
https://www.google.com/adsense/policies?hl=en_US

Publishers disabled for invalid click activity are not allowed further
participation in AdSense and do not receive any further payment. The
earnings on your account will be properly returned to the affected
advertisers.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

So I had 5 or 6 web sites & blogs that were using the same adsense account (such as Klaket.com, Ganimet.com, a new site that was underconstruction etc... )and now, they all have "page can not be displayed" written on various corners.. The most disapponting thing is, I am totally innocent in this case... No warning, anything... Account disabled. Sigh!...
