BHO Acronym for Browser Helper Object

M

Michael Yardley

A "Browser Helper Object" is a DLL that allows developers to customize
and control Internet Explorer. When Internet Explorer starts it reads
the registry to locate any installed BHOs and then creates them.
Created BHO's have access to all the events and properties of that
browsing session. Every time a new browser window is opened, it
creates a copy of the BHO and when that window is closed, it destroys
its copy of the BHO.

DLL
1) Short for Dynamic Link Library, a library of executable functions
or data that can be used by a Windows application. Typically, a DLL
provides one or more particular functions and a program accesses the
functions by creating either a static or dynamic link to the DLL. A
static link remains constant during program execution while a dynamic
link is created by the program as needed. DLLs can also contain just
data. DLL files usually end with the extension .dll,.exe., drv,
or .fon.

A DLL can be used by several applications at the same time. Some DLLs
are provided with the Windows operating system and available for any
Windows application. Other DLLs are written for a particular
application and are loaded with the application.


2) Short for Delay Locked Loop, Delay-Locked Loop (DLL) supports high-
bandwidth data rates between devices. These DLLs are circuits that
provide zero propagation delay, low-clock skew between output clock
signals throughout a device, and advanced clock domain control. These
dedicated DLLs can be used to implement several circuits that improve
and simplify system level design

Using Add-On Manager, you can view the installed add-ons and browser
helper objects on your system
