These are annoying as heck but I don't consider them ads at all. Sure they probably launch some ad riddled page, but no direct ads in windows.

They can all be turned off and I am a bit annoyed that our desktop team hasn't turned them off in our org's standard images. I cringe anytime I have to remote in to troubleshoot with a user. Thankfully it isn't very often.

DEFINITION FOR ADVERTISEMENT

noun

  • a paid announcement, as of goods for sale, in newspapers or magazines, on radio or television, or on the internet.

  • a public notice, especially in print.

  • the action of making generally known; a calling to the attention of the public

Just because it may not be trying to get you to buy Coca-Cola doesn't mean it isn't an ad.
