Are Ey43 pop-up ads dangerous?

Yes, they are. At the surface, they can 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 used to see in pop-up notifications. Ey43.com web page is controlled by crooks, who intendedly spread tons of malicious ads in pop-ups. They also don’t follow any manners of advertising and can launch sporadic pop-up advertisements into a storm of ads. For weak computers, that may be enough to make the system slower. But that is not all problems these pop-up advertisements carry.

As any other thing related to illegal advertising, Ey43 pop-up advertisements do not contain any legit deals to offer.

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 push notifications 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, Ey43 push notifications are not recommended to click on either, and the best solution is to disable them as soon as possible.
