Blocking Doubleclick

[BKKdreaming]

How can I kill off doubleclick ads ?

not just the pop-ups but anything from doubleclick

when I go to my yahoo mail I get ads from doubleclick which download real slow,

i have a slow dial-up connection anyway and the ads just make it worse

I am using netscape 7.2

thanks for your help.......

PS.....does anyone ever buy stuff from POP-Up ads, I never have -

open this file with notepad

C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

edit and save the file with an extra line for example

127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net

see how that works for you.

Have you run spybot and adaware,also microsoft antispyware is good,and free

[Crossy]

Agreed, AdAware (or similar) will remove doubleclick.com as well as many other spyware / adware problems.

Hi,

I use Yahoo all the time and do not get any Yahoo ads.

1. Get FIREFOX

2. Get this extension (add-in) ADBLOCK

3. Import THIS into Adblock (latest list).

Do the above and you will not get ads in Yahoo. Also with Adblock a little icon appears next to ads that are not listed, click on it if you don't like viewing the ad and it will be added to your ad block list. You can also use *.* to get rid of all ads from an advertiser.

Or replace your hosts file with the one you can download from here:
