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.

PUP.ChinAd is a potentially unwanted application that may show random or its own advertisements on well-known social networking and online shopping websites frequently visited by Internet users. The advertisements of PUP.ChinAd may be shown as boxes that include numerous coupons, or as underlined keywords, which when clicked may illustrate a pop-up ad that claims it is brought to the computer user by PUP.ChinAd. PUP.ChinAd may insert an unwanted add-on, plug-in or extension for Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer while the PC user is downloading and installing other free software products. When the PC user installs these free software products, he may also install PUP.ChinAd on the computer system. When installed, SPUP.ChinAd may illustrate an icon 'See Similar' next to the product image on various online shopping websites. PUP.ChinAd may also deliver coupons, deals, and/or other services on the relevant product websites. Sometimes, by clicking on a delivered offer, the computer user may get diverted to the suspicious commercial website, which was created by cybercrooks to possibly raise traffic and benefit from the pay-per-click technique.
