Double click is an advertising network owned by Google.
The thing that CCleaner is removing is a tracking cookie.
Adblock, NoScript and TACO are all add ons for Firefox which will block the content (although in different ways).

Is that a software or something I have to fiddle with green granite
I just installed Adblock as previously suggested here; double-click seems to be taken care of

Since I have my own DNS, I fixed this by changing the DNS entries to point doubleclick.net nowhere. As a result nothing loads from there and everything runs fast. I haven't seen anything from doubleclick in years.

Yep Adblock works fine - no annoying bloody ads and consequent delays anywhere from anyone.
If any new ones get through just go Tools -> Adblock Plus Prefences -> add filter (or use the
update subscriptions option which might have the new one on database anyway).

I use AdBlock, NoScript, and a pretty large hosts file, and I have none of those problems.
I can see why a corporate environment wouldn't like individuals editing their hosts files, but for my own machine it's invaluable.

I use noscript but it cripples many websites which take online payments.
The stupid Verified by Visa gets broken by it, for a start.
I use IE for buying stuff online, unless it is Amazon which works fine.
