According to the stats for last months, computer virus creators started a massive adware distribution project.

You can admit that some websites (like a Clagoeneefer.com) offer you pop-up promotions.

Pop-up notices are rather an reliable advertising and marketing mechanism.

Clagoeneefer.com Pop-Ups Are Not So Safe
But often pop-up advertisements can come out without your permission, and also with a content which is totally different from your existing attentions or search questions. And, besides unwanted Clagoeneefer.com pop-ups from the unknown source, you can at the same time see a great deal of promotions, consisting of ones on the web pages which originally have no promotions whatsoever. Such a situation can be the sign of adware appearance.
Adware is the type of malware which infiltrates into your computer, and then starts displaying you numerous ads. Their material , in most cases, has no match with your normal search questions. Besides banner promotions, your browser can also display you a significant amount of different Clagoeneefer.com pop-up advertisements, which show up in the lower right area.
The model of adware usage is extremely sly. The huge pack of adware is dispersed via trojan viruses, which are infiltrated in your PC earlier. Ads, which are suggested to you by malicious app, are paid by their makers. In several weeks, all anti-malware programs began to block these adware, hence, trojan loses in productivity. And to rub out the user’s personal computer, virus distributors start ransomware distribution with these trojans.
Even if there is no active ransomware distribution, your computer system may still be influenced by adware virus. A substantial number of advertisements along with Clagoeneefer.com pop-ups can make your PC as slow as snail, so your regular tasks will be difficult to do in common way.

One more negative aspect of the antivirus by Microsoft is its specific susceptability: viruses can disable Microsoft Defender with the Group Policies after being implanted to your PC.
