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 PayYou software service by Kromtech Alliance Corp. comes in two forms, an extension and a web browser suite that are promoted to allow you to earn real money during your everyday browsing activities. The PayYou web browser is custom build of the Mozilla Firefox application and displays advertisements while you surf the web. The PayYou browser extension does not differ from the Internet client, but its advantage is that it is built upon the Crossrider platform and can be attached to other web browsers. However, both PayYou tools use DOM storage data, HTTP and session cookies, read your browsing history and download list in order to generate custom-made commercials. You should note that the PayYou software is considered by security analysts as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware functionality that will display many banners, ad panels, pop-ups and pop-unders during your online session. Active online shoppers can obtain the PayYou software via freeware packages, but you might want to think twice because your online privacy would not be guaranteed. Also, the PayYou web browser may appear as your default Internet client, and you may be directed to visit untrusted web sites. Computer users might want to remove the PayYou software from their computer by suing a trusted anti-spyware utility.
