Possible IDN Spoofing detected.

Why does the ShopForum use spoofed URLs? I have a browser that is vulnerable to spoofed URLs, so I have a security tester installed that produced this warning:

"Possible IDN Spoofing Detected

"The URL on your location field is shown as:
http://ad.doubleclick.net/adi/N3227.mercedesshop/B1034481;sz=468x60;a=AH1;ord=[timestamp]?

"Though the real (spoofing) URL (may look like the same) is:
http://ad.doubleclick.net/adi/N3227.mercedesshop/B1034481;sz=468x60;a=AH1;ord=5timestamp 12?"

I thought DoubleClick was one of those ad ware outfits.

No spoofed URL's here

We do not use spoofed URL's and we do not use Doubleclick.
You may have spyware on your computer.
All of our URL's should start with either:

http://www.peachparts.com
or
http://catalog.peachparts.com

Thank you, Bill. If I sounded accusitory, I didn't mean to.

I've discovered the spoof source - it is the Tire Rack ads at the top of some ShopForum pages. Holding the cursor over the ads yields the doubleclick URL.

I didn't think it was my computer because I have a Mac, and I haven't seen any spyware for it yet.

Regards,

No problem.
You are correct about Tirerack. They use Doubleclick to track their clickthrus from MercedesShop.
