Last week, I saw a ton of posts like “my web browser shows me unwanted News-koronu.cc pop-up ads, is it a computer virus?” or “these News-koronu.cc pop-up advertisements in my Chrome making me mad, how to take care of them?”. According to the stats for last months, virus creators began a vast adware distribution project.

Pop-Ups : Discovering The Nature
You can admit that some sites (like a News-koronu.cc) show you pop-up ads. The message can have something like “do you want to have alerts relating to the most recent information?” or “enable notifications to be reported about latest discounts?”.

Pop-up notices are rather an efficient advertising instrument. If you have an interest in products of some type, you can enable pop-ups from the website where you can buy this stuff, and also as quickly as these products are in store again, or if you can have a price cut – you will certainly obtain the notification concerning this. The counterparty – online retailers, auto lending companies, etc – will remain in profit, too – purchaser will undoubtedly get a reminder regarding the product he/she meant to buy. And also such an advertising method is nearly free of charge – this factor is extremely important for companies.
