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.

The PubHotspot program is promoted as a tool that enables users to set up a WiFi hotspot and share their Internet connection with various devices. Leading2Apps publishes the PubHotspot program as freeware. Free software platforms may offer PubHotspot under the Productivity Tools category and welcome users to install the program for free. PC users may encounter PubHotspot by Leading2Apps in freeware bundles as well. As of the time of writing this, the most recent release of PubHotspot is provided as PubHotspot Version 1.0 and may be installed to the Program Files (x86) directory with settings configuration placed in the Temp and AppData folders. The PubHotspot desktop app may add an entry in the Registry and run with the Windows OS on boot up. PubHotspot may ask to access public, work and home Internet connections to facilitate its operations.
However, PubHotspot is developed by Informer Technologies, Inc., which is known for releasing ad-supported software that may come with potentially undesirable implications. We can mention WatchAnyGame, BabyMegs and Kaboom Travel. Apparently, Leading2Apps is a subsidiary of Informer Technologies, Inc. and their name is used with PubHotspot. The PubHotspot software is free to use, and you may not have problems sharing your Internet connection via PubHotspot with devices like your smart TV, phone, tablet and laptop. However, the PubHotspot requires maintenance and funds are necessary for its continuous development. PubHotspot is supported through advertisements that may be shown as notifications within the interface of PubHotspot and messages in the bottom right corner of your desktop. It is possible for PubHotspot to redirect users to promotional materials provided via affiliated pages.
Since PubHotspot is used to handle the Internet connection for your devices, partners of Informer Technologies, Inc. may have access to usage statistics like IP addresses registered to your home network, preferred sites and recently downloaded content. PubHotspot behaves similarly to WizzWifiHotspot and EasyHotspot. Computer security analysts perceive PubHotspot as Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware capabilities that may harass users with excessive advertisements. If you find the PubHotspot software intrusive and undesirable, you may want to use a trustworthy anti-malware instrument to remove it from your machine safely.
