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:

HDQ is an adware application that may infiltrate your computer bundled with third parties' free programs. Usually, this kind of adware is installed on computers in order to display sponsored advertisements, promote advertisement clicks and increase websites' traffic. HDQ is classified as a Possibly Unwanted Program by security experts because the presence of HDQ adware may cause more harm than benefits to the computer user and its machine. HDQ advertisements are highly intrusive and unwanted. HDQ adware may retract the computer user's browsing data. The computer may present performance problems, behave erratically and even crash. There's no point in keeping HDQ running on your machine.
