Last week, I saw a huge amount of messages like “my browser presents me undesirable Securityservice-pc.com pop-up advertisements, is it a virus?” or “these Securityservice-pc.com pop-up ads in my Chrome making me crazy, how to handle them?”. Due to the data for last months, virus suppliers started a broad adware delivery project.

Pop-Ups : Discovering The Nature
You can admit that some websites (like a Securityservice-pc.com) use you pop-up advertisements.

Generally, such messages are harmless, and can only sidetrack you with its sudden appearing. Plus it can be quite easily turned off, in case notices from this web site are no longer desired.
Pop-up notifications are rather an reliable advertising and marketing mechanism. If you have an interest in products of some kind, you can give a permission to the pop-ups from the web site where you can buy this things, and as soon as these products are in stock again, or if you can have a price cut – you will certainly get the notice regarding this. The counterparty – online retailers, car lending companies, etc – will be in profit, too – customer will definitely get a tip about the product he/she intended to pay for. And also such an advertising and marketing method is practically cost-free – this factor is really important for companies.
