This is what happens when you follow dubious "tricks" to avoid ads by messing with stuff you're not supposed to mess with. Unless you understand what you're doing, that is.
There is in fact a line of the kind in my hosts file:

0.0.0.0 doubleclick.net

MintNanny uses exactly this trick to easily block sites. That's why I thaught it was no nonsense or in any way dubious. So tell us please whats wrong with such an entry.
