Answer 1

Double Click.net is very easy to get rid of. I hope you have firefox web browser on your machine. If you do all you have to do is block it in your browser settings. It's that easy. Click tools, options, on the privacy tab click exceptions. In the box that opens type in ad.doubleclick.net. Click block. End of problem. With internet explorer



Click tools, internet options, privacy tab click sites, type in ad.doubleclick.net click block. It's that easy.

Answer 2

Add the following line to the end:

127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net

I didn't see it in your list (although it cuts off at the end of the post) so just add that

If that doesn't work, add www. before ad.doubleclick.net

Hope that works!

Answer 3

first, ask yourself why you want to get rid of them? Maybe the problem can be solved in in easier way than "getting rid of them." Or, are you the mayor of Fresno?

Answer 4

you haven't got the line "127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net" and the other doubleclick sites in your hosts file, download the latest version, you can edit it yourself any time
