What are Jinox-News pop-ups?
Jinox-News popups are a result of adware presence. Adware is a kind of malware that shows you the pay-per-view of pay-per-click advertisements, which produces a major volume of profit for adware distributors.

Pop-up advertising itself is a good, cheap and also very productive advertising solution1. It allows the seller to attach the customers’ attention to their website, and the buyers to receive the dynamic updates on the goods they wish to purchase. When the consumer 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 undoubtedly use this possibility and get it. Taking into consideration the very low cost for the popups and their targeting, such a marketing tool is a favorite thing amongst the marketing departments of huge internet stores.
However, such a successful strategy could not be missed by malware developers. Potential to show the popup advertisements by force to the victims of malware attack is an ideal basis for evil-minded manipulations with the popup advertisements. And Jinox-news1.club promotions is just one of hundreds that are “employed” in this scheme.
