So looks like doubleclick.net has been hacked, and it's made wikia near unusable for some users. It is redirecting lots of peoplevery aggressively from any page that shows doubleclick ads to findingresult.com, and it's been going on all damn day. It's so aggressive, it made certain sites basically unusable for me, because within a second of loading a page I got redirected off of it.

It doesn't appear to be a virus on your own machine; it's actually the advertisements displaying on the website. Not everyone appears to be affected -- they may be only hitting certain IP addresses or regions to make it harder to pin down and fix (or it may be based on the ads you're shown -- maybe only certain ads are affected). If you're one of the people suffering, hopefully I can help you out!

The solution I've found is to tell AdBlock Plus to filter out everything from doubleclick.net (Click your AdBlock icon, go to settings, choose "add your own filters", and add a filter that's simply "doubleclick.net"). You can install AdBlock Plus from your browser's extension library -- if you're stuck just say so and I'll walk ya through it.

Note: I'm told this wide a filter will break some sites like the google shop, but it's a good temp fix until doubleclick manages to fix the problem. It makes the internet useable again -- doubleclick covers tons of websites! Once this is fixed, you might want to remove the filter, or leave it in place -- up to you.
