Non-loading frames

[Jeremy]

I'm using SP2 with XP Home. What I have discovered is
that, on several websites, there are several frames on
the page I'm at that don't load, but instead have
the "This page cannot be displayed" text on them.
Checking out the properties of these frames, they almost
always have something to do with doubleclick.net.

Also, when this happens, I notice that my back button
stops working (as others have documented here). If
I click the little arrow next to the back button to see
what pages are in my back history, instead of seeing the
last page I visited I see several entries also having to
do with doubleclick.net.

For instance, when I visit www.angelsbaseball.com, I get
three frames that do not load now. The URL address that
shows up in their properties is:

res://C:\WINDOWS\system32
\shdoclc.dll/dnserror.htm#http://ad.doubleclick.net/adi/an
gels.mlb/homepage;pos=1;sz=178x60;tile=1;ord=997109074?

Now when I click the little arrow next to my back button
there are three instances of:

http://ad.doubleclick.net/adj/angels.ml

as if the browser thinks I just visited that site three
times or something. So when I click the back button it
tries to take me to that site. Also, in the status bar
at the bottom of IE6 I see that it is trying to connect
to that site, and also to http://127.0.0.1

This problem happens on other sites such as ebay as
well. Does anyone know how to get around this? I've
tried disabling the popup blocker, changing my security
settings, looking at my antivirus settings, deleting all
my cookies and temp. internet files, clearing the SSL
states of my certificates, etc etc. Nothing has worked
yet. Could it have something to do with my router and a
port that needs to be opened? I am using a Linksys
BEFSR41 with the most updated firmware (and incidentally
I have no problems with the linksys website).

Please help!

This is not a bad thing, it is a good thing. You DON'T want anything from
doubleclick. Some nice person has entered it into your HOSTS file and set
it to 127.0.0.1 (your machine).

Well, this is my home computer that I built myself, and
I'm the only one who uses it, so I don't see how that is
possible. This only started happening after I installed
SP2, so I think it was Microsoft that entered doublick
for me.

How do I remove it from my HOSTS file? I don't care
about the ad-ware as long as I can regain my Internet
functionality. Thank you.
