I keep getting ads from ad.doubleclick.net and ad.adserverplus.com. How do i stop these pest from coming onto my computer without my permission. I have tried Search and Destroy without luck and on Googles blocked 3rd party cookies. Nothing works because it slows down my computer or blocks other apps that i want.

Has anybody any tips?

Thanks. I´ve installed it and so far it´s ok. I hate these adds and spam which invade my computer without my consent. Is it legal?

I still get the crappy ads but often without the text now. It´s pissing me off as i do not want a bloody green card to the USA which still turns up at times. I feel that with the spams and ads i´m being violated. Isn´t there anything i can do about these bloody pests?
