319834	2005-02-01 22:03:00	sounds like you have got a third party hosts file (heaps around on the net). you can quite saftly block doubleclick (no problem here with it). however i have noticed some sites getting cunning and have the page setup so if the adds don't load the rest of the page won't either. any chance you can post your host file list ??	tweak'e (69)
319835	2005-02-01 22:14:00	This problem is actually solved, thanks anyway though. As I said above, in my hosts file there were hundred of entries added by Spybot Search & Destroy. They are adservers, and Spybot has set them to the local machine to stop them from loading ads. Good idea in theory, but it caused some sites to be unable to load altogether. I have removed the entries that were causing problems, and left the rest so that they can continue to block ads. I cannot block ad.doubleclick.net because some sites, including pcworld.co.nz and pressf1, need it to load. Look in the status bar as the page loads - ad.doubleclick.net is there for a second.

319836	2005-02-01 22:20:00	If you remove the entries from within Spybot and reinsert them do the Doubleclick lines return? I have the current Spybot and it doesn't block any Doubleclick related sites.	PaulD (232)
319837	2005-02-01 23:37:00	Does it block any sites at all? Cos on another computer I have Spybot S&D and it hasn't modified the hosts file. I do remember setting that option ages ago on the computer that did get changed, thinking about it now. It's not the Immunize option... must be somewhere else.	Atreides (7000)

319839	2005-02-02 01:38:00	its certainly odd. i've had doubleclick sites blocked for years and there has never been a problem with pcworld or any other site because of it. that makes me wonder what other problem you may have that has gone unnoticed.	tweak'e (69)
319840	2005-02-02 01:46:00	Have you actually got "ad.doubleclick.net" in your hosts file? There are other "...doubleclick.net" address which blocking doesn't cause problems with. I have other ad-blocking things which work fine (like the one built into Firefox) - it's only the hosts one that killed the sites. And simply removing that one line from the hosts file fixes it, so... I think that that is causing it. I have Spybot S&D 1.3, Ad-aware SE, Norton SystemWorks 2004, ZoneAlarm... all clean.

319842	2005-02-02 02:13:00	From this post on the Spybot forum (forums.net-integration.net) I suspect that your hosts file was somehow not the standard Spybot one.	PaulD (232)
319843	2005-02-02 02:20:00	Hmm. Yes. I suppose that, given how common blocking ad.douleclick.net is, maybe something else is happening.... though on the other hand, how many of those people have tried to access pcworld.co.nz... no, I suppose that isn't terribly significant, there must be thousands of sites using ad.doubleclick.net. :confused: Well, I just don't know. Sites didn't work before, I remove ad.doubleclick.net from the hosts, and the sites do work. I'm happy. Right? Think that the fact that I have TelstraClear Paradise broadband is of any significance to this? And Tweak'e, do you have Windows XP? You reckon I should do anything else? Problem solved?
