    A few invalid clicks a month are expected. I wouldn't worry about it.

    If you have a bad habbit of doing so, you should wrap your ads in a userid conditional so that you don't see them (but, then you can't monitor what ads are showing).

    I have been using adsense for a long time and have yet to have any issues beyond a one time event. I end up clicking my ads now and then and only once did google get in touch with me.

    They were nice about it, removed the clicks (loss of monies is a given) and they reactivated my account.

    The main thing, if they do put you on notice, don't lie about it. Accidents happen, be straight with then and you will be fine.
