What's popup ad?

Last updated: Sep 9, 2005


Popup ads launch in a new browser window in front of the current browser window.
Pop unders launch in a new browser window behind the current browser window. They use the same technique so we will combine them.

Technically, a popup ad is just a new window. To distinguish "bad" popup ad from "good" regular windows, popup blocker software uses a simple test. If you clicked and a new window appeared, then it's a "good" window. If you've done nothing (no clicks) and the window popped up - then it's a "bad" window, thus we are going to block it.
