Notifsendback popups are an outcome of adware presence. Adware is a sort of malware that demonstrates to you the pay-per-view of pay-per-click ads, which generates a major amount of earnings for adware representatives. These promotions may have sometimes shocking material, or have a link to malicious content/website, because adware maintainers have no reason to inspect the goodness of the content they are going to reveal – their solitary target is money.
Pop-up advertising itself is a very good, cheap and also very productive marketing instrument1. It makes it possible for the seller to link the buyers’ interest to their website, as well as the customers to get the dynamic updates on the goods they intend to purchase. When the customer will get a pop-up notification that the TV set he likes to buy is offered at the online shop he/she checked out previously with a 15% discount, one will surely use this opportunity and purchase it. Taking into consideration the exceptionally low cost for the popups and their targeting, such an advertising and marketing instrument is a favourite thing amongst the advertising teams of large internet stores.
Nonetheless, such a successful system could not be missed by malware creators. Potential to demonstrate the popup ads by force to the victims of malware attack is an excellent basis for malevolent manipulations with the popup ads. And Notifsendback.com promotions is just one of hundreds that are “employed” in this scheme.
