Abstract
An interstitial manager () monitors () network communications received by a client computer and detects () a potential to initiate contact with a remote computer system. When a potential to initiate contact with a remote computer system is detected (), the interstitial manager () determines () whether the potential to initiate contact with the remote computer system entails redirection to an alternate location. The determination () of whether the potential to initiate contact with the remote system entails redirection is responsive to satisfying at least one condition from the group of conditions consisting of determining whether a client browser attempts to contact an address associated with the remote computer system, and identifying at least one link embedded within the network communication possessing characteristics consistent with interstitial redirection. Responsive to determining () that the potential to initiate contact with the remote computer system entails redirection to an alternate location, the interstitial manager () invokes () interstitial management procedures.
