Pls help me get rid of doubleclick.net

[Ebodski]

HI,

Lord knows what I've done to deserve it, but I keep getting this pop-up
prompt every time I browse different pages. It does go away every time I
click cancel , but it is starting to do my head in now.

Please please me out on how to stop it.

Thx

Control Panels/Internet Options/Security/Restricted Sites/Sites and enter
the following: *://*.doubleclick.net
That should do the trick!

Here's how to remove it and prevent it coming back.

1) Scan your system for commercial parasites using Ad-aware and Spybot S&D:

http://www.tomcoyote.org/SPYBOT/
- before you do, remember to download the latest updates!

2) Block doubleclick by using a combination of your hosts file and DNSKong:

So turn OFF JavaScript, Java and ActiveX. Better yet, dump that
piece-o-crap browser you're using (<http://www.litepc.com/ieradicator.html>
will make that a painless proposition) and replace it with something decent,
like K-Meleon, or Mozilla, or an older version of Opera.
