Double click is a spyware. It because LowYat net had many advertisment that consist of spyware. It's actually harmless. Well, this is a free forum, if no advertisment, then will u pay for it??

That's odd.

Do you get that alert with any other websites you surf to?

It might be possible that one of the ads has DoubleClick adware in it. For most cases, DouleClick is only a cookie file (rather harmless, yeah?), so, I guess there is no big problem around. Cheers!

DoubleClick is one of the most famous advertising marchant out there right? I think most major website that have adverts will be using DoubleClicks's. So far the only 'threat' (to some people) is only the tracking cookie. I'm not very 'kiasu' on this issue, this is fine with me biggrin.gif

Well, it is only a cookie.LOL. Kiasu? Nah. Only sarcastic. LOL. No offence, but can you give me other files caused/created by DoubleClick? If so, I will take back my statement. Cheers!

doubleclick is a tracking cookie used by the advertising agency. Its quite harmless, and you're free to remove it from your cookie jar if you want to. Almost 50% of large sites rely on doubleclick for their advertisment tracking - http://www.doubleclick.com/us/
