"Abbreviation of Uniform Resource Locator, the global address of documents
and other resources on the World Wide Web.
The first part of the address indicates what protocol to use, and the second
part specifies the IP address or the domain name where the resource is
located.

For example, the two URLs below point to two different files at the domain
pcwebopedia.com. The first specifies an executable file that should be
fetched using the FTP protocol; the second specifies a Web page that should
be fetched using the HTTP protocol:

a.. ftp://www.pcwebopedia.com/stuff.exe
b.. http://www.pcwebopedia.com/index.html"

That makes sense, thanks, but what's a domain?

In my opinion, a stupid question is the one that wasn't asked.

URL stands for Universal Resource Locator

A reference to a specific site on the internet that computers can understand
and communicate to each other.

PC Magazine's review of AVG:
"Grisoft also offers AVG 6.0 Free Edition, which lacks some features, such as
scan scheduling and product support, though it has a simpler interface. But
since AVG missed six viruses on our Virus Detection test and had seven false
positives, even the free version isn't worth the price."

In mine, it's the one that was asked but shouldn't have been.
