EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecard
EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards are assessment reports for different malware threats which have been collected and analyzed by our research team. EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards evaluate and rank threats using several metrics including real-world and potential risk factors, trends, frequency, prevalence, and persistence. EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards are updated regularly based on our research data and metrics and are useful for a wide range of computer users, from end users seeking solutions to remove malware from their systems to security experts analyzing threats.
EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards display a variety of useful information, including:
Ranking: The ranking of a particular threat in EnigmaSoft’s Threat Database.
Severity Level: The determined severity level of an object, represented numerically, based on our risk modeling process and research, as explained in our Threat Assessment Criteria.

BetterBrowse is adware that may proliferate to computers with the help of various freeware. Often, BetterBrowse may be added as an extra download to the free program the computer user is downloading. Once installed on a computer system, BetterBrowse may embed the relevant toolbar and modify the default homepage and search engine or a new tab window with a questionable website which may include commercial advertising content. BetterBrowse may display annoying pop-up advertisements, deals, offers and sponsored links in search results of any legitimate search engine. BetterBrowse may also grab search phrases from the PC user's search requests to deliver and show targeted pop-up ads that may possibly be used to earn money from ad clicks. BetterBrowse may also use browser hijacking methods to unwillingly reroute computer users to a predefined suspicious website and, thus, boost traffic of the certain unwanted website. BetterBrowse may also be inserted into the custom installer on many doubtful download websites, so if the PC user has downloaded a certain free app from a questionable download website, BetterBrowse might have also been installed during the setup process of freeware.
