Due to the stats for last months, virus suppliers began a broad adware circulation campaign.

Pop-Ups : Discovering The Nature
You can admit that some sites (like a News-zopuzi.cc) show you pop-up promotions. The message can contain something like “do you want to get alerts regarding the current information?” or “allow alerts to be reported about new discounts?”. Typically, such messages are harmless, and can just distract you with its unexpected showing up. Moreover, it can be easily turned off, in case alerts from this website are no longer wanted.
Pop-up notifications are quite an efficient advertising tool. If you have an interest in products of some type, you can allow pop-ups from the website where you can purchase this stuff, and also as quickly as these things are in store again, or if you can have a price cut – you will obtain the notice regarding this. The counterparty – online retailers, cars and truck lending services, etc – will certainly be in profit, too – purchaser will surely get a reminder about the item he/she intended to pay for. And such an advertising and marketing approach is nearly free of charge – this aspect is very essential for companies.
