Last week, I saw a great deal of messages like “my web browser shows me undesirable Ewafur.life pop-up advertisements, is it a virus?” or “these Ewafur.life pop-up advertisements in my Chrome making me insane, how to take care of them?”. Due to the statistics for last months, computer virus suppliers started a massive adware distribution campaign.

Pop-Ups : Discovering The Nature
You can admit that some websites (like a Ewafur.life) show you pop-up advertisements. The message can contain something like “do you want to have notices relating to the most up to date news?” or “allow notifications to be reported about new discount rates?”.

Pop-up alerts are quite an effective marketing tool. If you want products of some kind, you can enable pop-ups from the internet site where you can acquire this things, and as soon as these items are in stock again, or if you can have a price cut – you will get the notice about this. The counterparty – online merchants, automobile lending companies, etc – will certainly be in profit, too – customer will definitely obtain a tip concerning the item he/she meant to pay for. And such an advertising and marketing method is nearly free of charge – this aspect is really important for companies.
