Pinterest.aot.im Redirects and Symptoms
Pinterest.aot.im redirects will affect the infected computer regardless of its preferred search engine or Web browser. They may appear after carrying out a search on a legitimate search engine or when trying to connect to a legitimate website. Although Pinterest.aot.im redirects may indicate the presence of an adware or PUP infection (Potentially Unwanted Program), they may also appear in the case of a more severe attack such as Sirefef or ZeroAccess. Pinterest.aot.im advertisements and redirects are designed to profit at the expense of the computer user, leading computer users to a particular website to increase advertisement impressions and affiliate marketing links. Pinterest.aot.im advertisements are also associated with components that keep track of your online activity. This information can be sold to marketers or used to display advertisements on your Web browser.
How Browser Hijackers Associated with Pinterest.aot.im are Distributed
Browser hijackers associated with Pinterest.aot.im are commonly distributed through harmful websites, spam email message or a variety of other methods commonly used to distribute threats. Computer users may infect their computers with these types of components after clicking on a suspicious online advertisement or download them believing them to be legitimate software. In fact, these types of browser hijackers are often bundled along with popular files on peer to peer file sharing networks or disguised as updates for Flash player or other software. Once installed, Pinterest.aot.im advertisements will try to convince you to download other fake Flash updates or fake security programs which may infect your computer with additional malware. It is important to note that Pinterest.aot.im advertisements by themselves are not malicious but that they are commonly used by criminals as a way of monetizing adware or browser hijacker infections.
