Recently, I saw a plenty of posts like “my web browser displays me unwanted Nupir.live pop-up promotions, is it a virus?” or “these Nupir.live pop-up advertisements in my Chrome making me mad, how to handle them?”.

Pop-Ups : Discovering The Nature
You can admit that some websites (like a Nupir.live) offer you pop-up promotions. The message can have something like “do you want to get notifications about the current information?” or “allow notifications to be reported regarding recent discounts?”. Usually, such messages are safe, and can just distract you with its unexpected visual appeal. Plus it can be quickly turned off, in case notices from this site are no longer needed.
Pop-up notices are fairly an efficient advertising mechanism. If you are interested in items of some type, you can enable pop-ups from the site where you can buy this things, and also as soon as these items are in stock again, or if you can have a discount – you will get the notice concerning this. The counterparty – online merchants, car lending services, etc – will remain in profit, too – customer will definitely get a suggestion about the item he/she planned to buy. And such an advertising method is almost free of charge – this factor is extremely important for firms.
