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.
Infected Computers: The number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular threat detected on infected computers as reported by SpyHunter.

GDSMux is a Potentially Unwanted Program. GDSMux may appear in the Windows Start Menu after the computer user had been struggling with unwanted toolbars such as the Delta Search and other PUPs on their Web browser. If GDSMux appears on your computer, this may mean that there are unwanted components installed on your Web browser that are exposing your PC to this and other unwanted content. Although GDSMux may be uninstalled with the same techniques you use to uninstall any other software, this sometimes proves to be useless. What causes this is that the PUPs associated with GDSMux will only bring about GDSMux to reappear constantly on the affected computer. To remove GDSMux completely, PC security researchers strongly recommend computer users to first remove any PUPs that are present on the affected Web browser and then use a reliable, fully updated security program to remove GDSMux and similar programs that may have invaded the compromised machine as a result of the PUP infection.
The Presence of GDSMux3 Means that Your PC is Housing PUPs
Although PUPs are not considered entirely threatening, this does not end up meaning that they may not present a threat to affected computers. In fact, many PUPs use threat-like techniques that are quite advanced and that may prove to be just as irritating and difficult to deal with as many threat infections. The main difference between PUPs and threats is the degree of their destructive nature and difficulty of manual removal. In many cases, the symptoms may be nearly the same. One of the main reasons why PUPs should not remain unattended on a computer is because they may expose the affected machine to other unwanted components. GDSMux is one of these types of irritating components that are installed as a result of a PUP infection.
PUPs associated with GDSMux may be removed using manual methods. However, PUPs have a nasty habit of coming back repeatedly unless they are uninstalled completely. If you want to check and be certain that this is the case, malware researchers recommend using a fully updated anti-malware program to perform an in-depth scan of the affected computer.
