Today, on november 29, 2007, when reading my newsletters from TechRepublic, I started getting alarms of the site loading code from Doubleclick.net
When I asked for more information, I was informed that the Crawler Toolbar Web Security Guard regards Doubleclick.net as a phising site.
The link to the information is:
http://www.websecurityguard.com/detail.aspx?domain=doubleclick.net&lng=en

What should I do, if anything???

What you are seeing comes through the AD Server feeding all those lousy bloated advertisements that we must all suffer through. There is a blue envelope at the bottom of every page where you can report site feedback and problems, but ESPECIALLY complain about the ads that we are all seeing.

Aah! I didn't see the feedback link.

I don't mind the ads. I can live with them.
What I do mind about is getting code from a site I am not visiting, and which is reported (november 30, 2007) for
- spam 45 times
- pornography 10 times
- adware, spyware, viruses 51 times
- phising and scams 36 times
- warez and illegal content 16 times
- pop up flood 29 times
when I am in fact visiting TechRepublic.
That's when I start to think that the site owner should start thinking about where they get their ads from.
I don't visit TechRepublic in order to get any of the above.
