A Vingança dos Pop-Ups

Há cerca de dois meses a Microsoft adicionou um bloqueador de pop-ups para o Internet Explorer via Windows XP SP2. Mas alguns sites, ainda usando pop-ups como propaganda, estão conseguindo passar a proteção para ignorar os softwares bloqueadores. Visitantes de um web site verão uma pop-under mesmo com o bloqueador de pop-ups ligado, tanto no Internet Explorer 6.0 SP2 quanto no Firefox.

It's been barely two months since Microsoft made a pop-up blocker available for its Internet Explorer browser--but Web advertisers have already found a way to slip their loathed marketing pitches past it.

Some publishers, still clinging to the ad revenue from pop-ups, are exploiting a workaround in IE and other Web browsers to send pop-up ads despite blocking software. In one example, visitors to the Drudge Report Web site who use the Service Pack version of IE or Mozilla.org's Firefox browser with a pop-up blocker will nevertheless receive a pop-under ad if they click a link on the page.
