Has anyone found a solution to the "googleads.g.doubleclick.net" backclick problem?

[Bob F]

Frequently, when browsing, I hit the back button to go back to a previous page
and nothing happens. Clicking on the recent pages arrow shows that there are
multiple "http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net" entries between the current page
and the last page I was at. Sometimes there are dozens or even over 100 of these
things.

I've put "127.0.0.1 googleads.g.doubleclick.net" into my hosts file, which
might have reduced the numbers, but not solved the problem. I've also added
"doubleclick.net" as a blocked site by clicking tools, internet options,
privacy, sites , which has also not eliminated the problem.

I could really use a good solution to this problem.

There are several tricks to disabling the Backspace key from a web page.
One is to use interstitial pages. The page you are on has a link. That
link takes you to an interstitial page that uses the meta-refresh tag
with zero delay to take you to the target page. When you backspace to
go back a page, you're actually going back to the interstitial page that
then uses meta-refresh with zero delay to take you back to the target
page. To get around this means you have to look at your Back button
history (right-click on it) and skip 2, or more, pages to go back.
Sometimes interstitial pages are used to show you ads. Sometimes
they're just used to control your navigation at their site.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstitial_webpage

You could disable meta-refresh in your web browser (IE and Firefox allow
it but not Google's Chrome). Alas, when you do this, you'll find many
good sites that use it to help decide where you should go next and you
won't be going there because you disabled the meta-refresh. In IE, you
can configure the Internet (and other) security zones only to enable or
disable meta-refresh. As I recall, you could configure Firefox to
prompt you about a blocked meta-refresh (but, also as I recall, it
didn't give you a handy link in the infobar so you could proceed to that
redirection page). All web browsers should default to disabling
meta-refresh AND give you a prompt as to where the redirection points
(so you can decide whether to go there or not). IE and Firefox give you
the option to disable. The lack of such in Google Chrome is a security
failing of that web browser. It would condemn several web projects by
Google to failure and why they won't provide an option to disable it.

Over 4 years ago, I used PopUpCop with IE7. That add-on would let me
prompt on a meta-refresh (instead of permanently disabling it in IE) by
telling me to where the redirection pointed. I could then decide to
allow the redirection or not. It provided a lot more control over
security in IE7. Alas, the author abandoned that product and it was not
compatible with IE8, and later. The last update was 18-Dec-2008 and
won't work with anything beyond IE7.

Another trick is using the Javascript event of noticing when you leave a
page. When you attempt to leave, this event triggers and runs its
assigned script. I think it's the onUnload() event that triggers when
you try to leave a page. This is how, for example, you see those
annoying popup "do you really want to leave" dialogs show up when you
attempt to leave a page.

I'm sure there are some other tricks to disabling the Back button (or
make it appear disabled), like using an [toolbar] add-on. The above are
the tricks I've heard about.

[Bob F]

The offending "recent pages" show up after the web page I selected is at least
partly printed. If I click "recent pages" as soon as the web page shows up,
they're not there. If I look again several seconds later, they are there,
between the selected page URL and the google search page that I selected it
from.

I have another PC that is close to a clone of this one. I cloned this one, then
did a repair install of XP SP3 onto that drive in another PC with another XP
key. I just checked it, and that PC does not have this problem. So it must be
something that either showed up since I made the clone, or was repaired by the
repair installation. I guess doing a repair installation on this PC might be
worth trying.

This problem is all over the internet, but I have been completely unable to find
a useful fix after several hours of searching.

[VanguardLH]

Are you waiting for the page to completely finishing loading (so the tab
spinner has stopped) before looking at navigation history? While some
servers are slow, many web pages are now dynamic and require either
client- or server-side scripts to run to determine what will be in the
page that gets rendered or sent to you.

Have you tested when loading IE8 in its safe mode?

Have you testing by loading Windows in its safe mode (with networking)?

[Bob F]

I can look a couple times as the page finishes loading. At first, there are
none. A few seconds later, there are several "googleads.g.doubleclick"s between
the current page and the google page that got me there.

>
> Have you tested when loading IE8 in its safe mode?

Just tried - it still happens with IE add-ons disabled.

>

Also just tried - it still occurs in windows safe mode with networking.

It does not occur using Chrome on the same PC.

I installed AdBlock Plus and it cured the problem completely. However,
I'm on Windows 7 and IE9 so I don't know if that is a solution
available to you. If not, you might consider a move from IE to FireFox
and AdBlock Plus.

I backed up my system, then tried a windows SP3 repair install. I then had to
re-install IE8, as the SP3 loaded IE6. That seems to have solved this problem
after doing a 130 entry windows update. That update had maybe 20 updates fail.
Now, when I try to do update again, update fails with the following message.

"Files required to use Microsoft Update are no longer registered or installed on
your computer. To continue:

Register or reinstall the files for me now (Recommended)
Let me read about more steps that might be required to solve the problem

"

Hitting continue gets another error:

This is really getting frustrating.

I hope you made a backup before doing this :-)

I'd restore from backup (bringing back the original problem),
then do this.

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Reset-Internet-Explorer-8-settings

*******

Over the years, Microsoft has thrown a monkey wrench or two
into the re-installation process.

We were warned with IE7 and IE8, to *remove* them before
doing a Repair Install. Which of course is impossible
if your OS happens to be broken, won't boot, and the
Repair Install was intended to revive it. There was at
least one report, that Repair Installing IE6 over IE8
could be fixed, by installing IE8 again, and things
would work. But I'm not so sure about that.

Another problem I uncovered, was with activation. I could
not activate the OS, using IE6. I actually had to temporarily
install a higher IE (IE8), do the activation, then uninstall
the thing again, to end up with a WinXP with IE6 browser.

Doing a Repair Install, isn't a priority for the folks
at Microsoft. They don't care whether it works or not.
That's my conclusion.

That's why I hope you made a backup, since it might take
a few tries to get it right.

*******

Also, if you hate doing Windows Updates downloads over and
over again, there is a tool for that. This tool downloads
files right from Microsoft, and stores them in a folder for
you. Later, you can update your OS, against that folder.
Using this tool, will become more important as we get nearer
to the end of support. You don't have to do this now, but
some time early next year would be a good time to do it.

Thank You!!!
I had just finished restoring from the backup I made right before the XP
restore, opened my mail and found this message. I did as described above and the
problem is fixed.

Thanks for this reminder. This project definately had me thinking about
updateing the files I had already started collecting this way. I should make a
slipstreamed XP disk with all the updates added.

Standard support ended back in 2009 and extended support ends next year
in the spring (08-Apr-2014). The only place you may be able to get the
updates to a fresh install of XP is from your own offline copy. If
anyone else is collecting this store to provide it online to other
users, that someone would have to be very well known to be trusted from
a certified site to accept from them all those changes to the OS.

It isn't just about reinstalling Windows XP but also getting it up to
the update status that will be last available as of next April.

Note: Disable your anti-virus software during an update retrieval for
WSUS. Some files are huge and your AV may so severely slow the
retrieval that it actually locks up (it will never finish).

Have you yet tried disabling meta-refresh in the web browser? While
this is not a good permanent solution, it'll show you if that's the
trick they're playing to cause your problem.

Have you yet tried disabling scripting and then checking if their
behavior continues? Alas, I don't know of an add-on for IE that lets
you easily toggle on-off its scripting support or to have a blacklist of
sites where you want scripting disabled. What I did is write a batch
file that changes the registry entry that disables scripting support in
IE. When you go into the Internet security zone (probably the only one
where you'll need to sometimes disable scripting) and change scripting
support (to disable it), a registry entry is created for IE to recognize
that setup. So my batch file changes the registry, loads IE, and
removes the registry change (so scripting will be supported later).
While this registry setting is enabled, all instances of IE no matter
how they are started will have scripting disabled, so you need to exit
the batch script to undo the registry change. The batch file also runs
CCleaner after unloading IE just to ensure everything gets wiped. I
then use a shortcut to that .bat file when I want scripting disabled in
IE. It contains (between the dash lines):


File: noscriptIE.bat
----------------------------------------
@echo off
cls

REM - Path to Internet Explorer 32-bit executable file:
set iepath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

rem - Disable script support in Internet security zone.

rem - Run IE and include command-line parameters.
echo.
echo __________________________________________________________________
echo.
echo Load Internet Explorer with no script support ...
echo.
echo *** Do NOT terminate this batch file.
echo *** Exit the web browser to complete this batch file and
echo resume script support.
echo.
echo WARNING: ALL instances of the web browser will have scripting
disabled
echo until this batch file completes execution.
echo.
echo Command = "%iepath%" %*

echo __________________________________________________________________
echo.


rem - Enable script support in Internet security zone.
echo.
echo ENABLE script support in Internet Explorer ...
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones\3" /v 1400 /t reg_dword /d 0 /f

rem - Cleanup history, cookies, TIF cache, etc.
echo.
echo Cleaning up ...
"C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe" /auto
----------------------------------------

Edit the iepath variable to point at wherever IE is installed on your
host. For IE pre-10, and for x64 versions of Windows, the (x86) is
needed if you want to ensure you load the 32-bit version of IE. For
IE10 (and probably IE11) which is a frankenjob by Microsoft, you always
end up loading the 64-bit version for the frame (the tabs run as 32-bit
processes).

Neither blocking meta-refresh or scripting is a good solution because
way too many sites require them for their site to behave correctly.

If the above cures their behavior then stop using the 'hosts' file.
That can only block on *hostnames*, not on domains. You'll want to
block on all of both .doubleclick.com and .doubleclick.net (and other
unwanted tracking and ad sources). To do that requires something more
than blocking on host names. You need to add something that blocks on
*domains* via URL blocking that lets you specify just the domains.

I use Avast Free and it has URL blocking so I can block on all of
Doubleclick's domains. Other solutions is to use Firefox with the
NoScript add-on (to decide where and when scripts will run) and either
the Adblock Plus (which will slow the load of Firefox not only to load
itself but also for each blocklist you add to it) or the Ghostery add-on
(99% as effective as using Adblock with Easy+EasyPrivacy blocklists but
doesn't slow load of Firefox). Some firewalls have a URL blocking
feature.

IE itself has a domain blocking feature. I think in IE8 it was called
InPrivate Filter (not the InPrivate Browing feature) where you could
import .xml files that listed URLs, including just domains, that you
want to block. The problem is that Microsoft conflicted with their own
syntax in different articles and too many authors of these lists used
the old DOS-based wildcard format instead of regex (regular
expressions). They used Microsoft's examples instead of Microsoft's
spec that stated to use regex (but not even Microsoft supported much of
regex for the XML blacklist). In IE9, and later, it got changed to the
Tracking Protection list. I used to have my own list of about 50
entries in my .xml import file but decided to just go with the Abine,
Easylist, EasyPrivacy, and Stop Google Tracking blacklists that this
feature will automatically update with newer versions of these
blacklists as they become available. These lists are a lot longer than
my personal list but they don't seem to impact loading or responsiveness
of IE. For IE8, and earlier, there is a site where you can get an
adapted .xml file for import of the EasyPrivacy blacklist so you don't
have to do it (but updates are not automatic so you'll have to
periodically redownload the list, delete all current entries, and then
import their adapted blacklist). Toggling on/off this filter is easy in
IE: in IE, as I recall, I just did it using the status bar section for
the InPrivate Filter, and for IE9 I just use the toggle button in the
address bar.

OK, there is a better Microsoft Forum for this, and the sign up is easy
since you're already a microsoft member.

It is called The Microsoft Internet Explorer Feedback Program used to
report bugs. They show open and closed tickets, and this one is recently
and still open. Please try to have examples of these links and screen
shots & try to give an example of a particular web page it occurs on.

GO TO:
https://connect.microsoft.com/IE

In the SEARCH - Feedback field, enter "back button problem" and select
it from the list

Your comment should be entered with a detailed explanation and some
examples, then click on submit. Next you should click on the
"attachments" tab and upload any screenshots of this and then click
submit.

It's up to us to overhwelm them with evidence!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, this problem has been well documented across the web and on these
forums, but I am still looking for a fix. On multiple websites, when I
click on the back button, it just lands me on the same page I've been
viewing. After browsing the page, in order to go back to the previous
page, I have to double click or even triple click at times in order to
back out of the page. Clicking the back button once just seems to
refresh the page I'm on. This is getting more annoying every time I am
using a search engine (both Google and Bing) and surfing through several
different pages, as it's beginning to happen quite often. People are
also seeing doubleclick.ads being inserted as "extra" links into their
back button's history as well. So, is this an IE problem or a GoogleAds
problem. Since Firefox does not seem to have this issue, it could
indicate that IE isn't keeping up with their coding and stopping events
like this from happening. Or, it could mean that these ads and redirects
are occurring because Google and other ad makers are using bad code and
the people at Firefox have figured out how to thwart it.
One example is:

From Google search page, typing in "best autobiographies"

Scrolling down and selecting the goodreads.com site from the results

After spending about a minute on the page, clicking the back button once
just lands me back on the goodreads.com page

Double-clicking will take me back to search results page



A second example:

Here's a screen shot of what occurred on the abcnews website. At first
glance, the URL history is normal and I can go back to the previous
page, but after being on the page for about 30 seconds or so, that link
gets inserted so that then I am forced to double-click to go back to my
previous page.

(screenshot avail at the microsoft bug site)

My attempts to fix:

I have reset IE, I even used Microsoft's IE Fix tool, I tried restricted
sites, I disabled scripting, I enabled 3rd party, I scanned for viruses
and did registry fixes, scanned for adware and malware, updated my
tracking protection lists for IE, don't have any add-ons, and more. To
no avail. Still happening on both my pc's, one has IE9 and the other has
IE10.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I too experience this problem on a REGULAR basis. It's annoying and
began happening to me as soon as I was forcibly (thank you M$) upgraded
to IE 10. (Running on w7 64). Go to almost any web site, decide to 'go
back' and hit the back button, end up on the exact same page I was on.
Hit it again, back again. Only if I time it well and hit the back button
2-3 times quickly will I get truly returned back to where I wanted to
be. And - if I hit the back button too many times I end up 2 pages back
which is SO annoying.

As posted by twinkly1974 I too can see that my back button 'history'
list many times shows a long list of ad site names that mean that I
could be sitting there hitting the back button forever.

My suggestion - absolutely prevent the history list from being modified
by anyone other than IE, thus allowing it to be used solely for the
purpose it was (supposedly) designed for.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here's someone's explanation of the problem in more technical terms:

"In Internet Explorer, when a page is loaded, the address of the prior
page is added to the history stack. However, IE is also pushing the
current page url to the history stack for every Google Ad that is
loaded. So when the back button is pressed, it attempts to go back to
the prior page, which is the same as the current page and nothing
appears to happen. However, if you press the button enough times and all
of the extra instances of the current page have been removed from the
stack, the browser will finally go back to the previous page."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT FROM A FORUM:

User1-
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open FoxNews.com or ABCNews.com and select a link from that page
2. Right-click the "Back" button

What is the expected behavior? To get back to the previous page.
What is the actual result? Ten history entries are inserted into
history. Going back makes the frames with errors show up blank instead
of actually going to the previous page.

The testcase is the result of the investigation: whenever a frame is
added after the page finishes loading and that frame fails to load a new
history entry is created. This tends to be very confusing because often
these frames aren't even visible. Why the frame fails to load doesn't
matter, the internal redirect to the error page is apparently causing
the history entry to be added. I think that this internal redirect
should not be affecting a user's history and should be fixed.

User 2-
I have found the root cause of the issue. In didStartProvisionalLoad we
have:

if (frame-parent()-isLoading()) {
// Take note of AUTO_SUBFRAME loads here, so that we can know how to
// load an error page. See didFailProvisionalLoad.
document_state-navigation_state()-set_transition_type(
PAGE_TRANSITION_AUTO_SUBFRAME);
}

This results in transition_type_ of content::PAGE_TRANSITION_LINK if the
parent page is no longer loading. In this case, the parent page has
already loaded and we are inserting iframes using JavaScript, so the
transition_type_ stays unchanged.

If the load fails, we enter didFailProvisionalLoad, which in turn does:

bool replace =
navigation_state-pending_page_id() != -1 ||
navigation_state-transition_type() ==
PAGE_TRANSITION_AUTO_SUBFRAME;

Since transition_type is PAGE_TRANSITION_LINK due to the logic in
didStartProvisionalLoad, we end up with replace being false. This then
causes us to load the error page as a new history item instead of
replacing the current one.

User 3-
So let me get this straight. An ad company isn't fixing a bug in their
code that causes undesirable behavior when an ad blocking is used.
Shocking.
Bug is very annoying - if page manages to fully load before "Back"
button or shortcut is triggered again, it becomes impossible to leave
the page without opening history menu for current tab. For pages with
dynamic frame loading this efficiently means corruption of tab history
before you even notice the problem.

User 2-
Initial iframe load shouldn't add session history item. We are fixing
the behavior of setReplacesCurrentHistoryItem for initial frame
navigation.

Fixing initial erroneous navigation in iframe to not add history entry.
The underlying issue is that AUTO_SUBFRAME transition type was
incorrectly being set on subframe navigations. I'm fixing this to be
compliant with the HTML5 spec.

User 4-
Seeing this issue also. Behavior is page dependent and consistent. For
example:

http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/01/world/...html?hpt=hp_t1
will cause multiple history entries for the page and "back button" will
not work.

while:
http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/30/world/...html?hpt=hp_t3
causes only a single history entry and "back button" still works.

This behavior is identical on every retry.

User 5-
Been having the problem for a while now, just got frustrated enough to
do some searching. Most apparent for me at Amazon.com - terrible
behavior when browsing products.

User 6-
Being blasted with ads isn't favorable and neither is having to hit the
back button X number of times to actually go back. I'm not one to spam
up pages with "fixitfixitfixitplzplzplz", but as others have said, this
should really be a P1/blocking bug. It seems the root cause was
discovered, so what's the problem here?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is the solution of one website owner:

" meshane Aug 31, 2012 11:06 AM

I have some good news to report. Sorry to change directions again on the
suspected cause, but as I said this is a complex issue and there have
been a number of people looking into this since early July. Ultimately,
it comes down to some ads exposing a bug in Internet Explorer. We were
able to track the cause of this down to a 3rd party ad network, and
found a particular ad that was causing this. We have now blocked this
ad, but we do suspect that more than one ad is causing this behavior
which is part of why it's been hard to track down. We will continue to
try to root out the cause of the problem and remove any ads which
trigger the bug. If you encounter this again, please continue to let us
know, and screen captures of ALL the ads on the page at the time are
always helpful.

- Shane"

(cited~www.chowhound.chow.com/topics)

SOOOO, is our only hope to complain to individual site owners? If they
lose viewers, they lose revenue (and how ironic over an ad issue which
generates revenue for them). This issue has been happening for years &
still no fix from Microsoft.

The issue is WWW Web-Masters
Not Microsoft
And by the way
googleads.g.doubleclick pay Microsoft too

some ads exposing a bug in Internet Explorer

So stop using Google Toolbar
is the fix from Microsoft

Go with Bing.com Toolbar

OK, there is a Microsoft Forum for this, and I bet you are an IE user.

It is called The Microsoft Internet Explorer Feedback Program used to report
bugs. They show open and closed tickets, and this one is recently and still
open. Please try to have examples of these links and screen shots & try to
give an example of a particular web page it occurs on.

GO TO:
https://connect.microsoft.com/IE

In the SEARCH - Feedback field, enter "back button problem" and
select it from the list

Your comment should be entered with a detailed explanation and some examples,
then click on submit. Next you should click on the "attachments" tab
and upload any screenshots of this and then click submit.

It's up to us to overhwelm them with evidence!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It seems that this is a scripting problem with iframes that ads use to load up
on a page. It is affecting sites from as small as a tractorforum and craft
blog
all the way to news sites such as CNN, ABC, and FoxNews. It's appearing on
Yahoo pages and FlickR & LinkdIn users are reporting this as well.

Sites really are being affected from big to small because they're all using
ads.
The following are some of the offending URLs being inserted into my history:
http://segapi.quantserve.com/seg/r;a (etc etc, i can't even see if the link is
longer)
http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/page
http://a.rfihub.com/sed?w=300&h=250&co=(etc etc i am unable to view the
whole link in my URL history view)
http://assets.pinterest.com
CHITIKA V2 (occasionally comes up on Yahoo pages & although still forces a
double-click, the link shows up at the TOP of the URL history)odd

...and although I haven't experienced this, others are claiming it happens with
facebook links and also adyeildmanager links.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Example 1:

From Foxnews.com I click on a link to their top story, after being on the page
for about 30 seconds, I hit the back button to return to Foxnews.com
Instead, it seems to refresh the current page
I right-click on the back button arrow to view my URL history & find a link
(or sometimes 2,3,4+) in between my current page, and the page I want to get
back to.
Each of those inserted links requires a click-through in order to get back to
my
actual previous page.*

*I have a fast PC and these "Click-thrus" don't land me on actual
pages because when you have to click back fast enough to get to the previous
page. Clicking once will usually land you back on the page you were viewing,
be
it a forum, news story, or photos.

**FIREFOX has a DOCUMENTED fix online for their browser and this issue, as does
ADBlock. Some Chrome users say they experience the issue, but the majority are
IE users. Wish I could post screenshots here, but if you go to the IE Bug
Reporting website, the "back button problem" forum has a more complete
description.

I have the same issue, it's a total disaster.
Several devs and me checked the issue but no cure as for the moment.
Banners show up everywhere besides inside posts self.

w3c validator sees a robots.txt conflict, but there are none - robots allows * access and there are no sub robots elsewhere.
https://validator.w3.org/checklink?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rusinfo.eu%2F&summary=on&hide_redirects=on&hide_type=all&depth=&check=Check

I spent several months already trying to resolve this issue and so far no solid results. Can anyone suggest an approach to check?

If anyone wants to take a look: www.rusinfo.eu/msm/ - here banners work, both in headers and autobanners in feed.
Once opening any of the news posts in Firefox, there will be no banner or not always (mostly not).

Will appreciate any hints, thanks in advance
