It simplest terms, there is no way to really effectively prevent click bombing either from competitors or pranksters.

I mean what's the option? Not show your ads -- that will surely prevent click bombing but you won't make any money either!

That leaves the option of showing your ads and making some money.

Some things that you can do to make it less likely of having problems with Adsense is to first never advertise your site on forums like this.

Second, log into you adsense account daily and look for unusual click activity (multiple clicks from the same IP or several multiple clicks in clusters from different IPs) and be sure to report it to Google as soon as possible.

Short of not showing ads, your only option is to keep a close eye on your sites and ad activity and report anything suspicious -- that way Google will not suspect that it's you who's doing the clicking.

Just report to google you think something fishy is going on with your clicks and remove the ads from your website

Actually there is. There is a plugin about which automatically hides the adsense code once a IP address has clicked on the adsense ad.

This means anyone with a multiple clicks from the same ip or same ip range will not see an advertsiement from google on the second time.
