I'm having a problem being re-directed to web pages- I get an error message that mentions "ad.doubleclick.net", which prevents me being re-directed.

Anyone any thoughts?

Thanks,

Tosh

Spyware / Malware - get rid of it :rolleyes:

Use "Spywareblaster" or Spybot Search & Destroy.

Trouble is, a heck of a lot of sites redirect you through doubleclick to access their site!

Think eBay access does it, for one.

Have you got something like a HOSTS file that blocks ad.doubleclick.net? My HOSTS file does this, so there are indeed sites that I can't use properly when it's enabled - BA's website included - but you can easily get around that by downloading the small tool (http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hostsfaq.htm#Rename) that temporarily disables the HOSTS file by renaming it.
