According to the data for last months, pc virus suppliers started a massive adware circulation campaign.

Pop-Ups : Discovering The Nature
You can admit that some sites (like a Behaviorname.online) offer you pop-up ads. The message can contain something like “do you want to have notifications regarding the current information?” or “allow notifications to be reported about latest discounts?”. Normally, such messages are riskless, and can just distract you with its sudden appearance. Plus it can be quickly disabled, in case alerts from this site are no longer wanted.
Pop-up notifications are rather an efficient advertising instrument. If you want goods of some sort, you can allow pop-ups from the website where you can buy this things, and also as quickly as these products are in store again, or if you can have a discount – you will certainly get the notice about this. The counterparty – online stores, vehicle lending services, etc – will be in profit, too – purchaser will certainly obtain a tip regarding the item he/she meant to buy. And also such an advertising and marketing approach is practically free of charge – this factor is really crucial for firms.
