Popups they can be dangerous

Are you sick of having to just log of the net because of those popup's. Close one popup and another five happen to display themselve's. Even worse you're kids are on the net and one of those Pornographic ads popup!! Believe me I know how it feels!! Popup’s are a form of advertising. Most advertisers’ use popup’s of a way of getting your attention so they can then redirect you to their web site. They are usually trying to sell you their product or get your email address, so if you happen to give them your email address the individual or company will then in term send you information on their products. This can get very annoying! They tend to just keep sending email after email clogging your inbox with spam. Popup’s really are one of the most hated entities on the net they are rude and just take up so much of a person’s time. And then comes another form of advertising! The popup’s sparring partner The pop under. This type of ad just likes to wait till your finished with the web site you are using and when you think your done there it is looking straight at you from your screen. Pop under’s are actually a sneaky way of putting a ad in front of you without you even knowing about it. They position themselves behind the window itself so when you close the widow there it is!! Now popup’s are not just used for advertising. Unfortunately they can be used for planting ad ware and other types of malware including spyware making them even more dangerous. People will use this to there advantage they will try to gain your personal information. Once this sort of software is installed in your computer they can have access to anything from your tax details to bank accounts and your passwords. So please be careful! Clicking on the x on top of a popup window will not stop people gaining entry to your computer this will actually give the command for the software to install itself.
