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 Gizmodock software is promoted on Gizmodock.com and free software package as 'the best free search enhancement tool ever.' The Gizmodock program is developed by Howard Software Limited that deployed FLV Blaster, AdBlockerr and FixCleanRepair that are perceived as riskware. However, the Gizmodock application falls in the same category as WinClock and ZiperFly - adware. Security researchers classify Gizmodock as adware because it might change your default search engine to DockSearch.net without your consent as well as promote clothing, shoes and high-end smartphones via pop-ups and banners. Also, The DockSearch.net portal is just a redirect-gateway to Findamo.com that is associated with a browser hijacker. The Gizmodock adware may redirect your Internet traffic to Findamo.com and change your DNS settings to make sure you are provided with commercials from partners. Security researchers note that the advertisements powered by the Gizmodock adware might be corrupted, and users might be urged to install rogue security tools like Advanced Virus Remover and Windows Software Guard. Needless to say, the operations conducted by the Gizmodock adware may lead you to install harmful software and visit compromised sites. The Gizmodock adware may use session cookies and DOM storage data to detect your approximate geographical location to generate tailor-suited ads. You should not trust the ads by Gizmodock and avoid using the search service on DockSearch.net. Security researchers recommend users to use a trusted anti-malware suite to remove all files linked to the Gizmodock adware.
