Where the Ovinspecutions.com pop-ups comes from

These Ovinspecutions.com popups are caused by shady ads on the web-pages you visit or adware. Adware software is something that you should be aware of even if you use Google Chrome or other modern browser. This is the name given to applications that have been developed to show annoying ads and pop up commercials onto your web-browser screen. The reason for adware’s existence is to earn revenue for its author.

The most common way to get adware is a freeware installer. Most often, a user have a chance to disable all additional modules, but some installers are created to confuse the average users, in order to trick them into installing potentially unwanted apps and adware. Anyway, easier to prevent adware rather than clean up your personal computer after one. So, keep your browser updated (turn on automatic updates), run good antivirus applications, double check freeware before you open it (do a google search, scan a downloaded file with VirusTotal), avoid shady and unknown webpages.
