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:

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.

The Down Checker is promoted as a program that can check for the latest version of software on your PC and allow you to update it within its interface. That may sound nice, but you might want to know that Down Checker is supported by third-party advertisers. The Down Checker can be acquired via freeware packages from software distribution platforms with arguable reputation. You should expect to see ads by Down Checker in your web browser, and that allows experts to classify Down Checker as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware capabilities. The Down Checker app may not satisfy users, but it will add an extension to show promotional content on banners, pop-up and pop-under windows, coupons, and sponsored search results. Moreover, the Down Checker app will use tracking cookies, detect your approximate geographical location, read your software configuration and Internet browsing logs to help advertisers deliver targeted ads. The Down Checker program may edit your Windows Registry to protect its files from third parties and obstruct users from manually removing it. The Down Checker program may add a task in the Windows Task Scheduler to update its components at regular intervals and may install riskware like A2ZLyrics and Bomlabio without your explicit consent. Computer users may want to use the services of a trusted anti-spyware solution to delete all files of the Down Checker program and seek alternatives.
