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.

The Moccini software is promoted as a search enhancer by the infamous Linkury Ltd. that we know because of Jungle Net and Media Search App. The Moccini program can be found at Moccini.com and may arrive on your PC incorporated with freeware packages. The Moccini program has a clone named Bakinu that you may be offered to install as a research tool for your browser. The Moccini/Bakinu program is deemed as adware because it may bombard your screen with advertisements and change essential browser settings to enable its operations. The Moccini adware may change your default search provider to Search.moccini.com while its clone may change it to Search.bakinu.com. Both variants function the same, and the only difference between them is the name. The Moccini adware may detect your approximate geographical location to show advertisements in your language and load ads from local ad networks.
The ads by Moccini may be presented on banners and pop-up windows. Security experts note that the Moccini adware has a limited browser hijacking capability and may make modifications to the search scopes in the Registry to redirect users to Search.moccini.com and affiliated pages. Since the Bakinu adware is the same, users may be rerouted via Search.bakinu.com to promotional materials. The Moccini adware may appear as a widget in the top right corner of your browser and display a small toolbox when you hover near the edge of your screen. The toolbox by Moccini may include options to share the page you browse with friends on social media, make a screenshot and search for related sites. Web surfers are not advised to use the Moccini software to access content on the Internet because it is not a secure application. Fortunately, you can purge the Moccini/Bakinu adware by using a credible anti-spyware tool.
