Are pop-ups dangerous?

Pop-ups can be dangerous if they contain malicious content, like links to phishing sites or malware downloads. While many pop-ups are harmless and serve legitimate purposes, others exploit vulnerabilities to try to compromise your device or steal personal information.

Should you allow pop-ups?

You should only allow pop-ups on trusted sites when needed. Otherwise, it’s best to keep pop-ups blocked across all your devices to help shield yourself against potential risks like malware or phishing scams.

How do you stop virus pop-ups?

To stop virus pop-ups and other malicious pop-ups, enable a pop-up blocker in your browser, avoid clicking suspicious ads or links, and use a powerful antivirus app like Norton 360 Deluxe to help detect and block malicious content in real time.
