According to the data for last months, virus distributors started a massive adware circulation project.

Pop-Ups : Discovering The Nature
You can admit that some websites (like a Lkentineda.com) use you pop-up promotions. The message can have something like “do you want to get alerts regarding the current news?” or “allow notifications to be reported about new price cuts?”. Generally, such messages are risk-free, and may only sidetrack you with its abrupt appearance. And it can be quickly turned off, in case notices from this site are no longer desired.
Pop-up alerts are fairly an efficient advertising tool. If you are interested in goods of some sort, you can allow pop-ups from the website where you can buy this stuff, and as soon as these things are in stock again, or if you can have a discount – you will obtain the alert regarding this. The counterparty – online stores, auto lending services, etc – will certainly remain in profit, too – buyer will certainly obtain a tip about the item he/she intended to purchase. As well as such a marketing technique is practically free of charge – this aspect is very crucial for firms.
