Erot.co

Posted: June 29, 2015

Erot.co is a website, hosting pornographic content. What disturbs some PC users is the advertising strategy of this platform. Some users report that their browsers load Erot.co without authorization. This behavior may be observed when the person launches his Internet client or opens a new tab. The reason for this demeanor is the presence of a browser hijacker. These unreliable tools usually enter without the knowledge of the user and attach themselves to Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer in the form of an add-on. Once it settles in, the hijacker behind Erot.co may freely change some settings of the Internet client – including the search engine and default homepage. The redirections towards Erot.co may boost its page impression to a degree that it goes up in Google – an approach known as Black Hat SEO. Of course, the page itself may try to benefit by offering you some paid features. In any case, the unwanted transfers to this domain may be incredibly annoying and may create some issues, especially when several people use the same computer. Erot.co also uses some aggressive tracking cookies, thanks to which you may start seeing pornographic advertisements regularly. To delete them and the browser hijacker, you should perform a system scan with special security software.
