Where the Romtheoth.work pop ups comes from

These Romtheoth.work popups are caused by shady ads on the web-sites you visit or adware. Adware is a form of malicious software that displays unwanted pop up and notification-style ads based on your’s browsing history. Adware may replace the ads of other companies with its own. In most cases, adware will track your surfing habits and report this info to its creators.

The most common way to get adware is a freeware installer. Most commonly, a user have a chance to disable all additional internet browser extensions, but some install packages are designed to confuse the average users, in order to trick them into installing potentially unwanted apps and adware. Anyway, easier to prevent adware rather than clean up your PC after one. So, keep your web-browser updated (turn on automatic updates), use good antivirus software, double check free software before you open it (do a google search, scan a downloaded file with VirusTotal), avoid malicious and unknown web pages.
