It may seem paradoxical, but sometimes a pleasant female voice “can drive you crazy” not with charming promises, but with somewhat unnatural insistence, constantly repeating: "Open your mail." There is an opinion that “marketers” who oversee the promotion of information products of one of the popular social networks are involved in all these “tricks”. Nevertheless, the “victims” of viral advertising do not feel any better. Therefore, let's resolve this most unpleasant situation through the effective methods covered in this article.
About the virus
The “open your mail” voice is nothing more than the audio accompaniment of advertising, which is prescribed in the software environment by installing an application. And not without the participation of the user. Therefore, never mindlessly agree to all sorts of provocations that oblige you to do anything. For example, "Install this application, and you will be able to use the resources of our service without any restrictions." Of course, not allpeople are deceivers, and most software developers are quite decent engineers. However, your trust should always be within reasonable limits. As a result, the message "open your mail" will not bother you with its annoying presence. So the first rule is: never install anything you're not sure is safe!
