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.

Uroboros is a rootkit that may be in action since 2011. Uroboros is very similar to a worm-based component of the Snake campaign that pestered various countries around the world in 2008. Uroboros buries itself in the most remote part of the Windows operating system in order to assemble files and send them to remote servers. Whereas a computer is connected to the Internet and to other computers through a network, Uroboros may reproduce itself and send the collected files to an Internet-connected system for transferral. The good news is that Uroboros may not be intended to attack individual computers with normal security resources. Uroboros is a very sophisticated rootkit program that seems to be designed to attack closely guarded institutions.
