And, besides undesirable News-anyfa.cc pop-ups from the unknown source, you can simultaneously see a great deal of advertisements, consisting of ones on the pages which originally have no ads at all.

Besides banner promotions, your browser can also demonstrate to you a huge number of various News-anyfa.cc pop-up ads, which show up in the bottom right area.
The model of adware usage is extremely sly. The large pack of adware is distributed via trojan viruses, which are injected in your computer earlier. Advertisements, which are shown to you by malware, are paid by their makers. In a couple of weeks, all antivirus programs began to block these adware, therefore, trojan loses in productivity.
