Last week, I saw a ton of posts like “my web browser shows me undesirable Defenceprogramm.com pop-up promotions, is it a virus?” or “these Defenceprogramm.com pop-up ads in my Chrome making me mad, how to deal with them?”. According to the stats for last months, computer virus suppliers began a vast adware delivery campaign.

Pop-Ups : Discovering The Nature
You can admit that some websites (like a Defenceprogramm.com) use you pop-up advertisements. The message can include something like “do you want to have notices regarding the latest news?” or “allow alerts to be reported regarding new discounts?”. Usually, such messages are risk-free, and may just sidetrack you with its sudden visual appeal. Moreover, it can be quite easily disabled, in case notifications from this website are no longer wanted.
Pop-up notifications are fairly an effective marketing mechanism.

The counterparty – online merchants, cars and truck lending services, etc – will certainly remain in profit, too – customer will surely get a reminder concerning the product he/she planned to purchase. And also such a marketing approach is practically free – this element is really important for companies.
