This potentially unwanted program (PUP) collects various information such as IP addresses, Internet providers, operating system, search queries entered into search engines, websites visited, pages viewed, and other Internet browsing-related information.

Some of this information may be personally identifiable, and therefore, the presence of dotdo on your system may cause serious privacy issues or even identity theft.

Following successful infiltration, InterStat generates intrusive online advertisements including in-text, pop-up/under, banner, and display ads. It is highly probable that clicking these advertisements will lead to high-risk adware or malware infections.
