I don't know

In Response To: Are you running anti-popup or similar software? (Chris Kelly)

I have a McAfee Firewall. It prompts you when there's an incoming "attack" and gives you the option to block it "this time", "all the time" or permit its entry (you probably already knew that). If the receipt of a banner-ad is something that triggers the Firewall (and I have no idea if that's the case, but I imagine you do), then it's possible that I "told" the firewall to block all future attempts from this particular ad's source without notifying me.

I have used Ad-Aware in the past (on another computer) but, as I recall, it's function is mostly passive. When you run it, it provides you with a list of cookies on your system and you can then choose to delete those you can identify as "undesirable". I do recall seeing the "double-click.net" cookies a lot whenever I ran it. (Again, I'm sure you're already familiar with Ad-Aware.) I do not have Ad-Aware on the computer I'm using now.

I'm a little confused. I receive the Bodog ad, so double-click isn't being blocked, but the Pinnacle source is. From your post, it sounded like you were saying it was the other way around.
