Can’t Remove Ad.doubleclick.net pop-up ads? This page includes detailed ads by Ad.doubleclick.net Removal instructions!

Have you noticed an excessive amount of advertisements on your PC screen? Are you seeing pop-up ads, pop-under ads, banner ads, interstitial ads, video ads and many more types of ads than you’re interested in seeing? Do your browsers frequently crash or freeze? Or both? If so, you’re in for a pretty bad time. Ad.doubleclick.net is the nth questionable advertising platform on the Web that hackers take advantage of and it goes without saying that if hackers are involved in anything that concerns your computer, you should be worried. First things first, your computer is currently flooded with commercials because there is some adware-type infection or a potentially unwanted program (PUP) installed on your PC system. This exact virus is the reason why you’re seeing a parade of useless and annoying commercials and Ad.doubleclick.net is just the face of your problem. However, as you can see, you’ve gotten involved in a particularly nasty scheme which has absolutely nothing to do with your safety. It does have quite a lot to do with money. The only reason why you get constantly redirected to Ad.doubleclick.net is because this is a sneaky (not to mention, unfair) monetizing system which allows crooks to gain profit. Thanks to the parasite’s manipulations all your browsers are now infected and will lead you to Ad.doubleclick.net. As we mentioned already, this website generates issues only so any web links you see there, no matter if it’s some coupon, a discount, a product deal, etc., is unreliable. Clicking a corrupted advertisement might bring upon you a much more serious danger so unless you’re actively trying to compromise your computer with malware, you will make sure you stay away from the Ad.doubleclick.net ads. Remember, this whole thing could end catastrophically for your cyber security AND you privacy because the adware-type program that redirects you also spies on your browsing-related activities. You know what that means, don’t you? It means cyber criminals will have access to your browsing history, search queries, email addresses and, if you’re particularly unlucky, to some personally identifiable data as well. No one could possibly feel safe surfing the Web knowing that their own private information could be used against them for questionable purposes because as long as crooks collect personal data, you’re in danger. Even though identity theft is a very rare scenario, is it definitely not a threat to be taken lightly. You should already know that hackers don’t hesitate much when it comes to revenue so your private data could easily end up in the wrong hands thus causing you immense damage. Is it a risk worth taking? The virus has NOTHING beneficial for you so why keep it on board? The sooner you delete this nuisance of a program from your PC system, the better.

How did I get infected with?

Even though hackers have an impressively rich number of distribution methods to choose from, the most popular one is freeware/shareware bundling  which means you could get infected with numerous parasites while installing programs. To prevent such a nasty scenario, take your time in the installation process and do not skip any steps because some sneaky infection might be hidden alongside the legitimate software in the bundle. If you fail to deselect it on time, you will have to deal with it later on and, as you can imagine, it will be much more difficult to do so after the parasite successfully got installed. Pay attention to the EULA (End User License Agreement) and the Terms and Conditions of the programs you download; also, stay away from illegitimate websites and their illegitimate bundles. Remember that free of charge software doesn’t necessarily mean free of infections as well. Remain attentive when you should be and don’t jeopardize your own virtual security.

Why are these ads dangerous?

The adware parasite that’s currently harassing you is not only incredibly annoying but very dangerous as well. Therefore, leaving the virus unattended would be, to put it mildly, a bad idea. After this infection manages to trick you into downloading it, your browsers will experience some random modifications behind your back. Having in mind that it works just fine with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, you could probably imagine the mess that’s about to get started. All your once trusty browsers will lead you straight to Ad.doubleclick.net and the endless pile of corrupted web links there. Even though the parasite generates various kinds of discounts, coupons, deals, best prices, price comparisons , etc. what they all have in common is the fact they are all sponsored and extremely harmful. Same thing goes for the numerous software updates and other web links displayed on your PC screen due to the parasite’s manipulations – they should be diligently avoided as well. Remember, you’re being constantly redirected towards Ad.doubleclick.net for a malicious reason so don’t make the crucial mistake to keep tolerating such a highly unreliable program. This virus was developed to bring profit to its greedy creators, not to take care of your safety and/or privacy.
