Abstract: A system and a method are provided to initiate a popup web browser window without the need for manual installation or configuration of components on a client workstation, to bypass the apparent limitations of a web browser and simultaneously provide security and protection that the web browser's security would provide, if not bypassed. The system and method are configured and arranged to prevent malicious third parties from invoking a flood of popped-up web browser sessions resulting in a Denial of Service (DOS) attack.
