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.

The Fices.live website is yet another vehicle for a viral browser-based scheme. There are countless virtually identical websites dedicated to this tactic. They all try to convince their visitors to subscribe to their push notification services. If these websites are successful, the user will give them broad browser permissions, which allow them to run an annoying advertising campaign on the affected device.
Various websites of this type pretend to conduct a CAPTCHA check for bots and prompt the users to press the 'Allow' button to prove that they are humans. Fices.live, prominently may display one of the following or similar instructions:
'Press Allow to watch the video'
'Click "Allow", to close window'
Fices.live is a browser hijacker. Browser hijackers, by themselves, do not endanger the affected machine. However, the users that have them on their computers and fall for their tricks will soon find themselves flooded with unwanted pop-up advertisements. The advertisements could deliver more questionable content or redirect to additional misleading pages. The browsing experience on the device will be affected severely. To stop the Fices.live tactic, users will have to cancel all of the permissions they granted to the site unwittingly. This task can be accomplished via either the 'Notifications' or the 'Permissions' settings, depending on the users' browser.
