Are Asionteali pop-ups dangerous?

Yes, they are. Initially, they may look non-threatening – just a colourful pop-up that appears a couple times in an hour. However, the things this window promotes differ sharply from what you generally see in pop-up notifications. Asionteali.com website is controlled by crooks, who intendedly spread hundreds of irrelevant ads in pop-ups. They also never follow any common sense and can make sporadic pop-up ads into a storm of ads. For weak systems, that may be enough to make the system slower. But troubles are not over at this point.

And these pages may offer you to turn on other pop-ups, install a “useful” program, or pay for a thing at a big discount and never receive it. Let’s leave aside the cases when pop-ups promote phishing pages or straightforward malware. There’s no way these pages will bring you any good, thus interacting with them is a very bad idea. For the same reason, Asionteali pop-up notifications are not recommended to click on either, and the best solution is to disable them as soon as possible.
