possible. I noticed that imigis.com and avenuea.com get used on sites
that use
doubleclick, now that I put that into the DNS killfile. it looks up a
lot of
ad.doubleclick.net (rotates between that and the site I'm viewing very
quickly,
since both are in the dns cache), then turns to imigis.com
the interesting part is that even though the HTML source points to a
file on
doubleclick.net, there IS some image there. no hint of imigis.com
anywhere on
the whole page, even though I positively saw it being looked up
in the status line.
anyone knows what's going on here? just the usual paranoia, or is
doubleclick
really up to something?
