Sites with unsafe pop-ups

We visit countless websites every day. But not all of these websites are completely safe. Even safe websites can have unsafe pop-ups. These pop-ups can take you to dodgy websites which automatically download viruses. It’s critical that you look out for unsafe websites so you can protect yourself online.

Sites with multiple download buttons
