According to the data for last months, virus creators started a vast adware circulation campaign.

Pop-Ups : Discovering The Nature
You can admit that some websites (like a Netflowcorp.com) use you pop-up promotions. The message can include something like “do you want to receive notices relating to the most recent news?” or “enable notifications to be reported regarding recent discounts?”. Generally, such messages are risk-free, and may just distract you with its unexpected arrival. Also it can be quite easily disabled, in case notices from this web site are no longer wanted.
Pop-up notifications are quite an effective advertising mechanism. If you have an interest in goods of some kind, you can allow pop-ups from the internet site where you can buy this things, and also as soon as these products are in stock again, or if you can have a price cut – you will obtain the notice concerning this. The counterparty – online sellers, car lending services, etc – will be in profit, too – purchaser will definitely obtain a suggestion regarding the product he/she intended to pay for. And such an advertising technique is almost cost-free – this factor is extremely crucial for corporations.
