What is Fake Amazon Pop-Up Ads?

Amazon Rewards Event Pop-up

Encountering unexpected pop-up ads, especially from well-known entities like Amazon, while using an unrelated app can be concerning. While pop-ups alone don’t necessarily indicate a virus, they can be intrusive and may sometimes be linked to malicious software. Here’s how to determine the cause and deal with these pop-ups effectively.

Amazon pop-up ads appearing while using other apps can stem from several sources:

• Adware: Lesser-known or free apps may include adware that generates pop-ups to generate revenue. Although not always harmful, adware can be annoying and potentially invasive.
• Browser Notifications: If you’ve accidentally allowed notifications from a website, this could result in pop-ups appearing randomly, which might seem like they’re coming from an app.
• Malware: In alcuni casi, malicious software might generate fake ads to deceive users or promote untrustworthy products.
