Last week, I saw a huge amount of posts like “my browser displays me undesirable Load14.biz pop-up advertisements, is it a virus?” or “these Load14.biz pop-up ads in my Chrome making me mad, how to deal with them?”. Due to the statistics for last months, computer virus creators began a massive adware distribution campaign.

Pop-Ups : Discovering The Nature
You can admit that some sites (like a Load14.biz) show you pop-up ads. The message can include something like “do you want to get notifications regarding the current news?” or “permit notifications to be reported regarding new price cuts?”. Generally, such messages are risk-free, and can just sidetrack you with its unexpected arrival. And it can be quickly turned off, in case alerts from this website are no longer needed.
Pop-up notifications are quite an reliable advertising and marketing mechanism. If you are interested in goods of some type, you can enable pop-ups from the web site where you can get this stuff, and also as soon as these things are in store again, or if you can have a price cut – you will get the notification regarding this. The counterparty – online stores, vehicle lending companies, etc – will certainly be in profit, too – customer will certainly get a suggestion regarding the item he/she meant to buy. And also such an advertising and marketing method is almost cost-free – this element is very crucial for firms.
