According to the stats for last months, virus distributors started a broad adware delivery project.

Pop-Ups : Discovering The Nature
You can admit that some sites (like a News-mexavi.cc) use you pop-up advertisements. The message can include something like “do you want to get alerts concerning the most up to date information?” or “allow notifications to be reported regarding recent discount rates?”.

Pop-up notices are rather an effective advertising and marketing instrument. If you want goods of some sort, you can enable pop-ups from the web site where you can buy this things, and as quickly as these things are in stock again, or if you can have a price cut – you will certainly get the notification about this. The counterparty – online retailers, automobile lending services, etc – will be in profit, too – purchaser will certainly obtain a suggestion regarding the product he/she planned to buy. And such a marketing approach is nearly cost-free – this aspect is extremely important for corporations.
