OpenX is cheating (proofs), looking for an alternative

We’ve been using a very old version of OpenX which is recently giving false stats (1000+% CTR on many ads) as well as the security factor playing a massive issue with our servers.

8 websites that we currently use OpenX for...

For numbers and distribution, I did a stats search on OpenX on all campaigns from January 1st 2012
– September 30th 2012:
748,906 impressions.

So a monthly average of: 83,211.

But as I’ve said above, OpenX isn’t proving to be accurate so real results may differ. the clicks are way off, impression results can’t be too trusted either, see screen grab attached for a couple examples...

So for now we're looking for a truth-worthy alternative! Appreciate any help.

    oh wow... this is terrible. You can check Adzerk or Epom. I'm with epom because of their prices (free if you have less than 250k imps, free trial for 60 days) and video solution.

    I didn't like AdZerk. Wrote a letter to Epom.
    Any ideas besides these?

    Signed up to Epom two days ago... Seems like a legit platform, also I'm not losing anything, it's free for two months no matter what's your traffic volume. So we'll see what happen
