DoubleClick is Cookie which is malware.
DoubleClick is a mainstream ad network that uses various ways, including spyware cookies, to target advertising. Online ad company DoubleClick used Web bugs that could communicate with cookies from its Web site. The cookies then revealed past online behavior, even home addresses, IP addresses, & phone numbers to the bugs, & the bugs sent that information straight back to DoubleClick. A company can also use the bugs to tie cookie histories to personal identifying information, such as your phone number & address. In fact, a California woman sued DoubleClick for just that behavior. The company bought another firm, Abacus Direct, which holds detailed consumer profiles on more than 90 percent of U.S. households. DoubleClick cross-referenced its spyware results with that database to compile surprisingly personal profiles. Source Installing it is highly not recommended.

I think AOL is installing it. Every time I log into AOL, whatever website I go into, this DoubleClick appears. The thing is my Spyware Protection program blocks the Cookie???? Figure that one out. |
