I've never had any of those problems in years of using Netscape/Mozilla Suite/Firefox.

I've had a few problems with the "This document contains no data", but thats about it. Only when I tried to send an email through gmail, though..

I have that problem too, also it tends to lock all of my systems up needing a reboot, which isn't good for several reasons :rolleyes:

"install doubleclick"?
Doubleclick.net is an advertising company who will give your browser a cookie.

I just clicked it and have Spybot S&D installed. Went to the page no problem. As Richard said, it will just have created a cookie for doubleclick which will show up when I next run Spybot or Adaware.

Ah, the beauty of SpySweeper, it simply flicks it away automatically like an annoying fly.

There is an option in Spybot to either block or allow the cookie automatically without telling you.

This is based on the version 1.3 (as I have just had to download it anyway).


Click on "Immunize", then at the bottom of the window, find a section headed "Permanently running bad download blocker for Internet Explorer". There is a list box below. Change this to "Block all bad pages silently". The other two options are to display a dialog when blocked, or prompt the user for what to do.
