Last week, I saw a huge amount of messages like “my web browser displays me undesirable News-opekyv.cc pop-up promotions, is it a pc virus?” or “these News-opekyv.cc pop-up advertisements in my Chrome making me crazy, how to manage them?”. According to the stats for last months, virus distributors started a vast adware circulation project.

You can admit that some sites (like a News-opekyv.cc) show you pop-up ads. The message can have something like “do you want to receive notifications regarding the most up to date information?” or “allow notifications to be reported about recent price cuts?”.

Pop-up notifications are fairly an reliable advertising and marketing mechanism. If you have an interest in items of some sort, you can enable pop-ups from the internet site where you can buy this things, and also as quickly as these things are in stock again, or if you can have a discount – you will obtain the alert regarding this. The counterparty – online sellers, vehicle lending services, etc – will be in profit, too – buyer will undoubtedly obtain a suggestion regarding the product he/she meant to purchase. And such a marketing method is nearly free of charge – this aspect is extremely crucial for corporations.
