"This is a DoubleClick advertising server."
Since I don't allow DoubleClick anything on any machine because it tends to destabilize machines, I can only offer that I would run the Anti-Parasite Suite I noted at

This problem (actually more annoyance than problem) just started "out of the blue". While online, regardless of where I'm at or what I'm doing, a blue/gray box appears on the screen saying "The operation timed out whenattempting to contact ebay.doubleclick.net.
I don't know who ebay.doubleclick is, and I'm not trying to contact them, at least not knowingly. When I did try to go to ebay.doubleclick.net, I got a message box saying they could not be contacted.
Can someone please tell me what's going on, and how I can stop it? Thanks.
