Rinkela is an adware, which may display annoying pop-up advertisements in Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. The pop-up ads of Rinkela may be displayed regardless of the web browser or search engine, and if the PC user can see advertisements from Rinkela whenever he is making searches online in any legal search engine website or visits a particular commercial website, then the target PC may be corrupted by adware program or potentially unwanted applications. Rinkela may be produced by cybercriminals to generate advertising revenue from raised traffic of the specific commercial website and click fraud. Rinkela may raise website traffic, grab sales deals for other deceptive advertising websites, and deliver unwanted advertisements and messages containing sponsored links in the hijacked web browser. Rinkela may propagate through infected websites, or genuine websites that have been compromised and access the targeted computer surreptitiously. Rinkela may also propagate via malicious spam emails attachments or web-links to harmful websites.
