Pop-up marketing itself is a good, affordable and very effective marketing solution1. It permits the seller to link the buyers’ attention to their website, as well as the buyers to receive the dynamic updates on the goods they wish to buy. When the person will get a pop-up notification that the TV set he wishes to buy is provided at the online shop he/she visited earlier with a 15% price cut, one will surely use this opportunity and purchase it. Taking into consideration the exceptionally small cost for the popups and their targeting, such a marketing instrument is a favourite thing among the advertising teams of large online retail stores.

Ability to demonstrate the popup ads by force to the victims of malware attack is a great basis for malicious manipulations with the popup promotions. And Nipwaghue.com ads is one of hundreds that are “employed” in this scheme.
