If you don't want the pop-ups then it's really very simple

1. Click Start / My Computer
2. Navigate to : C

WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
3. Double click on hosts
4. Select Notepad from the list and click Ok
5. It will open you a new window
6. The last line should be : 127.0.0.1 localhost
7. Click behind localhost and click Enter to get in the new line
8. Type : 127.0.0.1ad.doubleclick.net
9. Go to File → Save
10. Exit

This will block all connection ad.doubleclick.net tries to make to its server, so all pop-ups should be permanently gone now. You can also add :

127.0.0.1ad.doubleclick.be
127.0.0.1ad.doubleclick.com
127.0.0.1ad.doubleclick.de

Also for FIREFOX: Tools> Options> Privacy: Check 'Accept Cookies from sites'
& Un-Check 'Accept 3rd Party cookies'
Firefox add-on's
Flashblock: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox…
Adblock Plus works pretty good too.
