Recently, I saw a ton of messages like “my browser displays me undesirable Arkakunaa.com pop-up advertisements, is it a virus?” or “these Arkakunaa.com pop-up ads in my Chrome making me mad, how to manage them?”.

Pop-Ups : Discovering The Nature
You can admit that some sites (like a Arkakunaa.com) show you pop-up promotions. The message can contain something like “do you want to receive notices regarding the most up to date information?” or “permit notifications to be reported about recent price cuts?”. Normally, such messages are trustworthy, and can only distract you with its unexpected visual appeal. Moreover, it can be quite easily disabled, in case notices from this site are no longer desired.
Pop-up notifications are fairly an effective advertising and marketing tool. If you want goods of some sort, you can allow pop-ups from the web site where you can get this stuff, and as soon as these things are in store again, or if you can have a price cut – you will certainly get the notification concerning this. The counterparty – online stores, vehicle lending companies, etc – will certainly be in profit, too – buyer will surely get a pointer regarding the product he/she planned to purchase. And also such an advertising technique is almost free of charge – this aspect is really important for firms.
