Why Do I Get So Many Doubleclic Links

[bigtodd]

Why is it when I click on a topic and I try to go back a page I actually have a ton of doubleclick.net...... links instead of the previouse web page link? Do I have something wrong on my end using IE? Is there a bug in the forum?

Thanks
Todd

This is the first I've heard of it, can you try a different browser ?

Gordy, I get this at work using explorer, but not at home where I use FireFox. Incidentally, pF isn't the only site that does it at work. It is frustrating and if there is a solution, I'd like to know what it is.

That definitely makes it sound like a browser issue and not an issue with PF. What verions of IE are you using, when you see this behavior.

I use IE9, by the way, and do not see what you and Todd describe, on any webpages that I visit.

Todd, what you describe makes it sound like you've got some malware or "browserware" loaded, a kind of spyware that is reading your browsing choices, then presenting you with "suggestions" based on those browsing choices, when you click links to navigate.

Check your antivirus software and make sure its updated, also, maybe you should clear your browser cache, which never hurts.

Yes Thanks!!!!

I am on it now. I am cleaning up everything I can find. I swore I was upto date with evereything. I tried opening this site in chrome and did not see the problem occur there.

I blew away all cookies and history the problem seemed to go away.
