Threat Scorecard
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.

The MyTransitMapper browser extension, also seen as MyTransitMapper by MyWay, is published as a free app that runs within the browser that "provides these features and web search on your New Tab," which is how it is advertised at Mytransitmapper.com. The MyTransitMapper extension is promoted via legitimate advertisements and commercials generated by adware such as DeskFavorites and Live Video Search. MyTransitMapper is developed and owned by Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc., which is a company that makes ad-supported programs. You should note that MyTransitMapper is an ad-supported software that is a repacked version of the DirectionsAce Toolbar released by Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. earlier. One of the signature moves of Mindspark is to repack its extensions under new names when security scanners flag their products as Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs). The installer of MyTransitMapper for the Internet Explorer is detected as:
- MyWebSearch.J (v)
- GrayWare[:not-a-virus]/Win32.StartPage.gen
- PUP.WebToolbar.MyWebSearch
- W32.HfsAdware.1166
- PUP.Optional.MindSpark
- Riskware.Win32.Agent.ekctyf
- PUP.MindSpark/Variant
- Adware.AdLoadCRT.Win32.544
There are versions of MyTransitMapper that may be installed on Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox as well. When you decide to install MyTransitMapper, it is best to read the terms of service at eula.mindspark.com/tos/ beforehand and know what to expect from Mindspark. MyTransitMapper is designed to alter your settings regarding the start page and new tab page. Google Chrome users are provided with a new tab via a customized version of Myway.com that is located on Hp.myway.com/mytransitmapper/ttab02/. Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer users are given an overhaul of the homepage, new tab page, and default search provider, which link to Hp.myway.com/mytransitmapper/ttab02/. The site associated with MyTransitMapper offers access to free maps on MapQuest, Google Maps, and Bing Maps, as well as popular services like Groupon, YouTube, Facebook, Gmail and Amazon. You will find links to information on transport services provided in the United States of America, a few cities in Canada, and a limited number of cities in Europe.
The MyTransitMapper may not be very helpful to users based outside of the US, and it does not come with extended features when it comes to restaurant suggestion, transportation tips and hotel prices. You can load Hp.myway.com/DirectionsBuilder/ttab02/ without installing the MyTransitMapper extension and use the search engine provided at int.search.myway.com. You may want to take into consideration that Mindspark may collect data like your input at Hp.myway.com/DirectionsBuilder/ttab02/, bookmarks, Internet history, and downloads log to facilitate the display of relevant marketing materials on associated pages. PC users that installed MyTransitMapper may be invited to disable their ad-blockers if they intend to use MyTransitMapper for personal use. If you are not pleased with the features or their lack in MyTransitMapper, you may want to remove the app and related tracking cookies in your browser with the help of a credible anti-spyware scanner.
