Recently, I saw a lot of posts like “my browser displays me unwanted Notiftravel.com pop-up promotions, is it a virus?” or “these Notiftravel.com pop-up promotions in my Chrome making me crazy, how to handle them?”. According to the stats for last months, virus suppliers began a vast adware circulation project.

Pop-Ups : Discovering The Nature
You can admit that some websites (like a Notiftravel.com) offer you pop-up ads. The message can include something like “do you want to have notifications concerning the most recent news?” or “permit alerts to be reported regarding new price cuts?”. Usually, such messages are trustworthy, and can just distract you with its sudden arrival. Moreover, it can be simply turned off, in case alerts from this website are no longer wanted.
Pop-up notifications are quite an efficient advertising and marketing mechanism. If you want goods of some type, you can allow pop-ups from the web site where you can get this stuff, and as quickly as these products are in stock again, or if you can have a price cut – you will get the alert about this. The counterparty – online merchants, car lending companies, etc – will remain in profit, too – buyer will certainly get a reminder about the item he/she planned to purchase. And also such a marketing method is nearly cost-free – this factor is very essential for firms.
