7. Legitimate Pop-up Ads
If you'd like to show an ad on one of your Web pages, you can add JavaScript code to the page that opens a pop-up when someone visits the page.
You wouldn't be trying to infect someone else's computer if you did that.
You would simply be showing site visitors legitimate pop-ups.
They don't harm people and they help websites generate revenue.
If you don't wish to see these pop-ups, you can adjust your browser to prevent pop-up windows from appearing.

8. Dangerous Pop-ups
Chase bank gives an excellent example of a dangerous malware program that uses pop-ups to steal information.
The bank cites a computer virus that opens a pop-up on a page a bank customer is viewing.
Because the pop-up has the word “Chase” in its title, people may assume that the bank displayed the pop-up.
While this particular pop-up is not an ad, cybercriminals can infect computers with viruses that show pop-up ads similar to the Chase pop-up.

11. Safety Tips
Pop-ups that appear unexpectedly usually come from software running on your computer instead of on a Web page.
These programs may be simple adware modules that get into your computer when you install another application.
Always read disclaimer messages that appear when you install free applications.
Surf safely by installing an anti-virus program, keeping it running at all times and letting it scan all files you download.

12. Steps to remove adware and unwanted pop-ups
Uninstall Malicious programs from windows
Use some Cleaner to remove adwares from the computer
Scan and clean your computer with antivirus
Double check for malicious programs
Reset your browser for default settings

13. FOUND HIM!!!
Ethan Zuckerman, the man who invented pop-up ads, has apologised to the world in a lengthy explanation of his original intentions.
Zuckerman explains that he had unintentionally created one of the most hated forms of advertising on the web.
In the late 90s Zuckerman worked for Tripod.com, a website that marketed content and services to graduates. Tripod later changed business model after the initial concept failed to catch on, becoming a webpage-hosting provider and “proto-social network” instead.
Tripod tried a number of revenue streams to keep the business going including; selling merchandise, a subscription service and even a paid-for magazine. But what really worked was advertising, and this is where it all began.

"Not only did I deploy what was probably the first popup, I wrote the javascript and the server-side Perl to launch it,"

15. Recent Incidents
Rik Ferguson from Trend Micro described an incident when the New York Times was hosting a banner ad that attempted to social-engineer people into installing a rogue antivirus tool. According to Rik, “the problem may have been ongoing for upwards of 24 hours” before the New York Times noticed the malicious nature of the ad and disabled it.

16. Recent Activities
In another example, the London Stock Exchange website was also observed inadvertently serving malicious ads to its users, as described by Paul Mutton. This incident was traced to a possible breach at Unanimis—the company serving the ads the London Stock Exchange and many other companies.
