What are News-Viline pop-ups?
News-Viline popups are a result of adware activity. Adware is a type of malware that shows you the pay-per-view of pay-per-click advertisements, which produces a major volume of profit for adware representatives. These ads might consist of sometimes shocking information, or have a link to malevolent content/website, because adware maintainers have no purpose to inspect the goodness of the web content they are going to reveal – their single target is money.
Pop-up marketing itself is a good, low-priced and really productive marketing solution1. It makes it possible for the seller to attach the customers’ interest to their website, and the buyers to get the dynamic updates on the goods they want to purchase. When the consumer will receive a pop-up notification that the TV set he wishes to purchase is available at the online shop he/she visited earlier with a 15% price cut, one will definitely use this chance and purchase it. Considering the very small cost for the popups and their targeting, such an advertising and marketing instrument is a favourite thing amongst the advertising departments of huge online stores.
Nonetheless, such a successful system could not be missed by malware developers. Ability to demonstrate the popup advertisements by force to the targets of malware invasion is a perfect basis for malevolent tricks with the popup promotions. And News-viline.cc ads is just one of hundreds that are “employed” in this system.
