According to the data for last months, computer virus distributors began a broad adware delivery campaign.

Pop-Ups : Discovering The Nature
You can admit that some sites (like a Teethaur.com) offer you pop-up ads. The message can include something like “do you want to receive notifications concerning the current news?” or “allow notifications to be reported regarding latest discounts?”. Usually, such messages are riskless, and may only distract you with its abrupt appearing. Also it can be quite easily turned off, in case notifications from this web site are no longer needed.
Pop-up notices are fairly an efficient advertising and marketing tool. If you are interested in products of some kind, you can enable pop-ups from the internet site where you can buy this stuff, and as quickly as these products are in store again, or if you can have a discount – you will get the notice about this. The counterparty – online merchants, car lending companies, etc – will certainly be in profit, too – purchaser will undoubtedly get a pointer about the item he/she meant to pay for. And also such an advertising method is nearly free – this aspect is extremely vital for firms.
