Removal of Double Click virus or spyware?

[Former Member]

There's something on my pc called "double click".  McAfee doesn't detect it as a virus or spyware and its very irritating.  Any thoughts on how I can get rid of it?

I know of a piece of adware called DoubleClick, which has been around for a while. It can be removed, probably quite easily. But before we get going, what are the symptoms, and how did you realise you had this?

Moved this out of the Help section to Security Awareness, Home User Assistance

Double-Click isn't really a virus and isn't really malware either.  I would call it an annoying cookie perhaps.

Try running one of the free anti-spyware applications listed in blue about half way down here: https://community.mcafee.com/docs/DOC-2168
