Back button regularly not working on threads because of Googleads.doubleclick

Over the last week I am continually finding with boards that the back button on IE9 is not working due to a "googleads/doubleclick" issue - as I understand it this is something to do with Boards using Google ads? If you try to click the back button it doesn't go back but just references to googleads.

A "fix" was to add doubleclick to my list of restricted sites - but now I'm plagued with "an add-on for this website (boards) failed to load" boxes.

Is there a fix? Are Boards doing something about this? Or do I have to change browser?

Thanks.

I haven't been able to reproduce the problem in my test copy of IE9 but there's a fairly lengthy thread on the problem here:

Lots of blame being cast around from dodgy add-ons to google being evil. Have you tried some of the suggestions made there that seemed to fix the problem for other people?

Alternatively changing to Chrome, Firefox or IE10 is likely to fix the problem immediately.
