Threat Scorecard
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.

Browse Safe is advertised as a one-of-a-kind browser extension that enhances the web browser's security features and prevents users from opening potentially harmful websites, or pages that are associated with a suspicious online activity. However, these are features that are implemented by default in every modern web browser, and Browse Safe doesn't seem to introduce any useful features to the web browser once it is installed. However, the Browse Safe extension can do something else – it can inject a vast number of advertisements in any modern web browser, and, therefore, worsen the user's browsing experience.
Enigma Software Group researchers identify Browse Safe as an annoying piece of adware that may be installed without the user's knowledge. Software bundles may be one of the main methods of propagation used to spread Browse Safe, so users are advised to keep a close eye on the setup wizard of freeware and shareware apps. They might offer to install Browse Safe as an additional component to their core files.
