Many websites you visit while surfing the Internet are likely to contain either ad banners or pop-up ads. Not only are these annoying, but some of them may contain hidden viruses or spyware that can be transmitted to the computer. Because of this, Internet Explorer features a built-in pop-up blocker. Many third-party ad-blocking programs are available. It is possible to disable both Internet Explorer's pop-up blocker and any third-party ad blocker.
