Is there a way of permanently killing Doubleclick? When I'm using IE9 the Back button is refusing to work and when I hover the cursor over the button a fairly long url is displayed which starts with the word 'Doubleclick' It just sticks with the same page. If I click the back button rapidly several times it eventually gives in and it allows me back where I want to go.

It seems to have only just started doing this ....and no, I don't want to use Firefox, thanks.

I use FF, and Doubleclick is still a pain . . . sometimes. I don't know why it seems to go away for a while.


I followed some instructions to edit my reg, and found my mouse wouldn't accept a double click.:ugh:

I'm just too old to follow instructions of more than three lines.

Maybe try hjt as per the Google search page? I don't use IE9 but there seems to be a fair bit on G about it and Doubleclick/cookies etc. I assumed it was malware but I see now it is something you have probably enabled yourself?

OK Tone - you didn't say you had done anything!

Confirm you have run malwarebytes (updated) and HJT?

I have tried Malwarebytes and Ad-Aware, neither come up with a problem. My recollection is that both of these products used to find Doubleclick and offer to assassinate it - now they are both playing dumb. Maybe they have been leant on by Google, or am I just being paranoid?
