| Programs
you load into your computer that keep content you
don't want to see from appearing on your screen. For
example, you can set up blocking software to
automatically screen out anything about dogs, your
least favorite band, or of course, violent material.
A pop-up ad
is a pop-up window used for advertising. When the
program is initiated by some user action, such as a
mouse click or a mouseover, a window containing an
offer for some product or service appears in the
foreground of the visual interface. Like all
pop-ups, a pop-up ad is smaller than the background
interface - windows that fill the user interface are
called replacement interfaces - and usually
resembles a small browser window with only the
close, minimize, and maximize options at the top. A
variation on the pop-up ad, the pop-under, is a
window that loads behind the Web page that you're
viewing, only to appear when you leave that Web
site.
