Abstract
Detecting click fraud at a user device involves detecting a event targeted to a network service that is rated based on the number of individuals who access the network service. The event is of a type associated with user interface selections. It is determined whether the user device is in a low-power state contemporaneously with the detection of the event. The event is caused to be disregarded for the purposes of rating the network service based on a determination that the user device was in the low power state contemporaneously with the detection of the event.
