AOTop is an Ad Obfuscating Tool For Visual Privacy Protection
(Obfuscate means "to obscure")
The AOTop Tool was designed to provide a reliable, automated, seamless, safe, private, customizable and low-cost means of combating the ever-increasing volume, frequency and nuisance of blatant commercial advertisement banners appearing unsolicited on your PC screen whether that be via the Browser window or a popular dedicated ISP window like AOL’s. In a very real sense, AOTop was designed to function as the visual equivalent of the popular TV/Remote Audio "Mute" button, but in an automated and intelligent way.
Each user-created AOTop Link Form targets an area in its Host Application Window to cover and each can be independently customized in many different ways like displaying your Graphic Art or Photo Files as the content you see instead. AOTop automatically memorizes and manages all your customizations on a session-to-session basis, so it’s always ready when you are. AOTop’s Resident Program Module continuously monitors changes in the System in real-time to ensure that it can instantly provide you with the Visual Privacy Protection you need each time it’s needed!
The AOTop Tool was also designed to be able to serve for other purposes beyond just Ad Protection. Notably, one such use is that the Tool can also double as a simple Image or Picture File Viewing utility that maintains a session’s viewed Image History list allowing for selective Image recall during that session and from session-to-session automatically. Another such example is the ability to use any AOTop Link Form Title as a 1-Line Note utility allowing the display of the Date and Time in Real-time, or any textual content that you might care to display.
