Last week, I saw a great deal of messages like “my web browser displays me undesirable Wedmetofu.biz pop-up ads, is it a computer virus?” or “these Wedmetofu.biz pop-up ads in my Chrome making me crazy, how to handle them?”. Due to the data for last months, computer virus distributors started a broad adware circulation campaign.

Pop-Ups : Discovering The Nature
You can admit that some websites (like a Wedmetofu.biz) use you pop-up promotions. The message can contain something like “do you want to have alerts regarding the current information?” or “enable notifications to be reported about recent discount rates?”. Usually, such messages are risk-free, and may only distract you with its unexpected showing up. Also it can be easily turned off, in case alerts from this site are no longer needed.
Pop-up notices are rather an effective marketing mechanism. If you are interested in products of some kind, you can allow pop-ups from the site where you can buy this things, and as quickly as these things are in stock again, or if you can have a price cut – you will get the alert about this. The counterparty – online retailers, cars and truck lending services, etc – will certainly remain in profit, too – buyer will undoubtedly obtain a suggestion regarding the item he/she meant to purchase. And also such an advertising approach is nearly free of charge – this factor is really essential for firms.
