Pop-up marketing itself is a good, affordable and also very productive advertising solution¹. It permits the seller to link the buyers’ interest to their website, and the customers to receive the dynamic updates on the goods they intend to purchase. When the customer will get a pop-up alert that the TV set he wishes to purchase is provided at the online store he/she saw earlier with a 15% price cut, one will surely use this possibility and buy it. Taking into consideration the extremely small cost for the popups and their targeting, such an advertising and marketing method is a favorite thing amidst the advertising teams of large internet stores.

However, such a rewarding system could not be missed by malware developers. Option to show the popup advertisements by force to the victims of malware invasion is a great basis for malevolent manipulations with the popup advertisements.

How have I got the Inghesatin virus?

There are a plenty of ways of getting contaminated by the adware that lead to the Inghesatin popups storm. A lion’s part of this virus incidents is after the freeware or cracked programs, that are distributed on the peering networks. Freeware can additionally be downloaded from the main website, and the adware is supplied as a legal bundled program.

There is no need to blame yourself. A number of individuals regularly make use of the unreliable programs from untrusted sources: abandonware, a wide range of utilities that are free of cost, and even hacked programs. All of these types of applications are unsafe, because it is quite easy to build in a Inghesatin malware under the cover of part of the license hacking script, or as a part of the self-made algoritm within the Windows optimization tool.

Inghesatin popup malware can also be hidden in the advertisement somewhere on the odd web page. Such web pages are typically full of intense and blinking ads, and their proprietors often approve any type of promos to be published on their web page. Hence, clicking such banners is a shot in the dark: only the ad provider realizes what will occur when you click this advertisement. Besides some “light” viruses, like adware or undesirable programs, you can also receive something a lot more threatening, like ransomware or coin miner; the large share of coin miners circulation is exactly after the malicious advertisements.

Potentially undesirable programs, like Inghesatin popup virus may cause a variety of problems on your personal computer. Distracting is not the only problem – pop-up notifications can display you the promotions, where you are offered to download one more strange program, or “a effective security tool”. Scareware is usually distributed with the use of the last slogun. Potentially unwanted programs, in turn, may have spyware functions. And it is pretty hard to distinguish the unwanted app from a legit one, if you don’t know the exact names. Besides the potentially unwanted programs and dubious antiviruses, popup-related advertisements are also chosen as a spreading way by various trojan viruses, for instance – coin miners. The consequences of actions of such viruses is 100% unpleasant, and can cost you several hundreds of dollars. And even if you are not clicking these banners, they may be clicked by someone who also makes use of your computer – parents, children, spouse, etc. So the situation may become much more serious, and it will be much harder to deal with it without information loss.
