check your rules to make sure that it's blocking the right thing, and that you are blocking everything you need to block.\n\noften you might block ad.doubleclick.net, but the ads are being served from ad2.doubleclick.net, or ad3.doubleclick.net, for example.

If you are serious, it's spyware. Use spybot search & destroy, and Lavasoft Ad-Aware to remove it...if that doesn't work you'll need to use Hijackthis to remove it...You shouldn't have anything on your screen that's not supposed to be there...\nIf this is a joke, then it's a bad one... :-&#92;

maybe becuase you're using pop-up blocker,\ntry to disable any software from that kind (maybe even IE popup blocker).

To rid yourself of 95% of all annoying ads (Sorry Advertisers), you need to download Firefox and install the Adblock Plus extention. It works right after install, no need to setup a block list manually.\n\nhttp://www.mozilla.com/firefox/\nhttp://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic=774

I agree this sounds like spyware. Try free tools such as Spybot Search and Destroy, Lavasoft Adaware, MS Defender, Yahoo toolbar, AVG antivirus, and Bitdefender antivirus to remove these problems.
