AdWare is Sending Me Traffic - Why?

[stubenbordt]

I have a client who is receiving a good bit of traffic from a source that I believe to be AdWare, which is obviously bad.  I didn't commission anyone to do this, so I'm at a loss as to where it originated, but it sends me many unique users per day - of course, the bounce rate is 80%, and the average time on the site is 8 seconds.  If I were to change site servers, would that A) stop the AdWare traffic, and B) change my rankings?

if you change site servers it will most likely not stop the traffic because the adware is sending you traffic based upon the domain name of the site, not the ip, if you change site servers the dns will simply resolve the domain name to the new ip.

Your rankings will not change in serps if you change the webserver. It does not matter.
