According to the statistics for last months, pc virus distributors began a massive adware circulation project.

Pop-Ups : Discovering The Nature
You can admit that some websites (like a News-colaxa.cc) use you pop-up ads. The message can have something like “do you want to receive alerts concerning the current news?” or “permit alerts to be reported about recent discount rates?”. Usually, such messages are riskless, and may only distract you with its sudden visual appeal. Plus it can be simply disabled, in case alerts from this online resource are no longer needed.
Pop-up notifications are quite an effective advertising mechanism. If you want items of some sort, you can give a permission to the pop-ups from the site where you can get this things, and as quickly as these products are in store again, or if you can have a discount – you will certainly obtain the alert regarding this. The counterparty – online retailers, auto lending services, etc – will be in profit, too – buyer will definitely get a tip regarding the item he/she planned to purchase. As well as such a marketing technique is almost cost-free – this element is extremely essential for companies.
