Spybot has it's own entries it adds to the hosts file,and there's no way to enter your own entries to the hosts file using Spybot.So,you'd have to add Doubleclick to the hosts file yourself(or any other site you want blocked,if Spybot doesn't already have it in your hosts file.)

There's also a tutorial about the hosts file here:

You're welcome.
Yes,you posted just fine. :)

One more thing,if you do add entries to your hosts file,you'll have to choose 'open with' a text editor,like notepad.If you see a line below that says "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file." with a checkmark beside it,then you might want to remove the checkmark.
Your hosts file will be the one just named hosts,with no extension.
