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:
Popularity Rank: 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 CloudExtender software is classified as an adware that you may install with a free program bundle if you forget to explore the 'Advanced' and 'Custom' options. The CloudExtender adware places a virtual layer between the user and the loaded site, which enables the app to display promotional images, banners, play video/audio commercials, redirect the user to third-party sites and show pop-up windows. Computer security experts note that the content provided via the CloudExtender adware may include links to fake lotteries, prizes on Facebook, coupons, and discounts at reputable stores like Amazon and Walmart. The CloudExtender program is not your typical adware considering that it is reported to perform multiple browser redirects every time the user starts an online session. Apparently, the CloudExtender adware may edit the shortcut parameters for browsers like Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. The CloudExtender adware might connect to a redirect-gateway and take the user for a ride through several sites before control over the browser can be restored.
The CloudExtender adware is not too different from the likes of The Coupon Store and VAFCompressor. Computer security researchers have confirmed that the CloudExtender can inject code into running processes with the aim to enable the display of insecure content. The materials generated by CloudExtender may lead users to phishing pages and expose them to man-in-the-middle attacks. Additionally, the CloudExtender adware may read data saved by the browser including your Internet history, cache files, bookmarks, and downloads log. Usually, that type of information is used by adware to display personalized commercials and increase the chance that the user would click on the ad. PC users that suspect the CloudExtender adware is on their machines should seek help from a trustworthy anti-malware utility and have it removed.

Block Information
Block Information
During analysis, EnigmaSoft breaks file samples into logical blocks for classification and comparison with other samples. Blocks can be used to generate malware detection rules and to group file samples into families based on shared source code, functionality and other distinguishing attributes and characteristics. This section lists a summary of this block data, as well as its classification by EnigmaSoft. A visual representation of the block data is also displayed, where available.| Total Blocks: | 4,985 |

Registry Modifications
This section lists registry keys and values that were created, modified and/or deleted by samples in this family. Windows Registry activity can provide valuable insight into malware functionality. Additionally, malware often creates registry values to allow itself to automatically start and indefinitely persist after an initial infection has compromised the system.| Key::Value | Data | API Name |
