The doubleclick pop-up window is probably being blocked by a HOSTS file. Yo can use program such as Spysweeper or Spybot may be populating it.Or go through this steps:- Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc in the program files.Double click on hosts and Select Notepad from the list and click Ok. now in the newly opened window you will see 127.0.0.1 localhost at the last line. Now to get in the new file, click behind localhost and click Enter and type : [B]127.0.0.1ad.doubleclick.net and save it.
Thats it.This will block the ad.doubleclick.net pop ups.

Go to mycomputer > program files > at C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc Open the HOSTS file with notepad. If there are entries you wish to disable, you can put the pound sign (#) in front an entry to disable it. Then File> Save. Or you can rename the HOSTS file to HOSTS.OLD to disable it. You can also add 127.0.0.1ad.doubleclick.com in the notepad. This will block the ad.doubleclick.net pop ups
