Research shows that users typically end up visiting pituitosus.com unintentionally - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive advertisements displayed on other rogue sites.

These are categorized as potentially unwanted apps (PUAs), which most users install unintentionally. Furthermore, apps of this type usually display intrusive ads and collect browsing-related data.
