News-livici.cc pop-ups can not launch out of the blue. If you have actually clicked some pop-up offers on some websites, it is likely an argumentation to see them. However, not all pop-ups will disturb you so much. Ones that are forwarded to your browser by normal web pages are just displaying the content you have agreed with. By doing this web pages, like internet stores or e-newsletters, notify their guests that there is a piece of updated material they will likely be glad to read. But once again – we are speaking about official marketing through the pop-ups, which you have probably enabled directly.
Two various other situations can not be called normal. In the first way to force you to allow pop-ups, the site claims that you should enable the alerts to see the content. In some cases, the website says that it is needed “to make sure that you’re not a bot”. In that case it is recommended to avoid the page and seek the information you want on the other web page. This way works primarily with unskilled users or ones that rush very much.
In the case of News-livici.cc pop-ups, you are probably suffering because of the consequences of adware activity. In that specific case, adware is oriented not on classic banner promotions, but on pop-ups that obtrusively appear on the user’s display. The promotions displayed in that way don’t generate additional revenue per single promotion, but improve the profit per one user – generally, as a result of the amount of advertisements displayed in a short period of time.
Do I need to remove News-livici.cc pop-ups?
If you would like to get your browser-related things back to normal order, it is unavoidable to eliminate the News-livici.cc pop-ups, more accurately, the virus that causes their appearance. Adware is known for its non-linear activity: it can immediately turn from pop-ups showing to demonstrating you the “standard” banners. However, the risk of this kind of an event is always the same: banners shown by adware can barely be called harmless.
Highly likely, no legitimate companies will sign an advertising contract with crooks. Thus, all elements that are displayed to you in the context of News-livici.cc pop-ups are useless. The most common case for such ads is displaying you the ads of unsafe corporations or ads that have the link to a malicious web page, or even for virus downloading. You can never predict what waits for you on the exact banner, and can sometimes misclick when you close it. Such a mistake may cost you much more time to solve: a lot of trojan viruses and unwanted programs use malvertising as a spreading way. The less time you give this virus to act, the less is the chance that you will get a pack of other viruses on your computer.
