"Double Click"

[archbishop]

What kind of a threat is this?Every time I change pages on this site I get a warning about "Double Click" from Spybot.

I think it's only a tracking cookie, used to target ads and track your browsing habbits across a variety of websites. It's not dangerous but some feel it is an invasion of privacy. See http://www.personalfirewall.trustix.com/spyware/doubleclick. html for a bit of info.

I found this a bit annoying every time I double clicked so I asked Spybot to track silently - now we're both happy.

Cetti - How do I do that?

[Cetti]

I've just been through it - so follow me... Click on Spybot icon till it loads fully. In your left hand column click Immunize. A small 'Warning' notice will appear assuring the number of products have been blocked. You need to click OK. Go to the bottom of the page beneath where it says'Enable permanent blocking of bad addresses in Internet Explorer'. You will now find a selection of options. Click on the little right hand arrow pointing downward till you find ' Block all bad pages silently' - and then EXIT.

I'd give you more stars if I could and thanks Cetti.

You're welcome. I'm really pleased it worked :-)
