What is Doubleclick.net

Doubleclick.net is an application which might not be among the most pleasant pieces of software that you may have on your computer. However, to your relief, it isn’t among the most harmful either. This application does not contain the harmful code of a dangerous virus, a Trojan Horse or a Ransomware infection. It, however, can spam your screen with ads and page redirects as well as alter elements in your browser such as its starting page address and search engine tool. Doubleclick.net is an application that is more similar to what is called a browser hijacker. If you don’t know what exactly a browser hijacker is, on this page, we will tell you more about the specifics of this software and the best methods that you can use to safely remove its components and fully get it uninstalled. It typically “targets” browsers like Chrome, Firefox and Edge and gets added to them when the users perform an Automatic or a Quick installation of some other software (usually a free installation bundle) or an update that have the hijacker in them. In that very moment, the application normally places some new search engine or homepage settings and sometimes installs some potentially unwanted toolbars and buttons on the main browser without the users’ permission. In addition, the hijacker starts to initiate automatic page redirects and to generate various intrusive ads, pop-ups and banners on the screen during web browsing. All these activities are part of an aggressive online advertising strategy but are often regarded as potentially unwanted and most of the users eagerly seek effective methods to have the ads uninstalled and the pesky software removed. If you’ve landed on this page seeking help against Doubleclick.net, then take a look at the removal guide below. It contains a set of instructions, as well as a professional removal tool for automatic assistance.

The Doubleclick.net Virus

In case that you find the manual instructions above too complicated or are afraid that you may delete the wrong files, you can always resort to a quality software tool like the one on this page and use its automatic scanner and features to safely uninstall the undesired application. Apart from browser hijackers, such a tool can help you with the protection of your system against much more nasty threats such as Trojans, hidden viruses, Spyware and others. That’s why you can consider it as an investment in your future system safety. Another important thing if you want to keep annoying page-redirecting and ad-generating applications such as Doubleclick.net away from your machine is to pay attention to the web content that you interact with. As we mentioned in the beginning, such pieces of software, like Doubleclick.net and Secure Captcha Top may often become part of your system as a part of an application bundle installation or when you perform a careless update of some software. If you are more selective about the sources of your software and take time to read the EULA and other pre-selected small text agreements, however, you can easily save yourself from the ads invasion and from the presence of potentially unwanted applications.

Uninstall the Doubleclick.net app and kill its processes

The first thing you must try to do is look for any sketchy installs on your computer and uninstall anything you think may come from Doubleclick.net. After that, you’ll also need to get rid of any processes that may be related to the unwanted app by searching for them in the Task Manager.

Note that sometimes an app, especially a rogue one, may ask you to install something else or keep some of its data (such as settings files) on your PC – never agree to that when trying to delete a potentially rogue software. You need to make sure that everything is removed from your PC to get rid of the malware. Also, if you aren’t allowed to go through with the uninstallation, proceed with the guide, and try again after you’ve completed everything else.

• Uninstalling the rogue app
• Killing any rogue processes

Type Apps & Features in the Start Menu, open the first result, sort the list of apps by date, and look for suspicious recently installed entries.

Click on anything you think could be linked to Doubleclick.net, then select uninstall, and follow the prompts to delete the app.

Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc, click More Details (if it’s not already clicked), and look for suspicious entries that may be linked to Doubleclick.net.

If you come across a questionable process, right-click it, click Open File Location, scan the files with the free online malware scanner shown below, and then delete anything that gets flagged as a threat.
