Abstract

A method and system for injecting external content to a user's client computer engaged in an interactive computer network session. A request for selected content from a user is intercepted and a decision is made whether to deliver external content to the user's client computer in addition to the requested content. The method and system allows for local service providers such as ISPs to add their own content to sessions involving remote content suppliers.
