A user system for a computer network further comprising an ad-control system, wherein:

• the user system is adapted to generate a user-interactive computer-simulated graphical environment (CSGE) having at least one graphical representation of a product-related item, wherein:
• the user system enables a user to select the product-related item represented in the CSGE;
• and
• if the user selects the product-related item, then the user system sends a first message to the ad-control system identifying the user and the selected product-related item;
• and
• the ad-control system is adapted to receive the first message from the user system and transmit a second message to the user containing information corresponding to the product-related item, wherein:
• the first message is transmitted prior to termination of the generation of the CSGE by the user system;
• the second message is transmitted independently of the state of the CSGE after the selection of the product-related item;
• and
• the selection of the product-related item does not include the transmission of the second message.
