Yes, but any ordinary individual usually gets attracted towards ads and pop-ups, out of curiosity, they do tend to click it. An awareness is important inorder to avoid the spread of viruses through such means.

Thanks for the heads up, I agree the newbies are more curious and they hardly use any ad blockers.
