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.

ConceptTool is adware that may compromise online searches of the computer user by replacing search results in any legitimate search engine with sponsored links and diverting the PC user to suspicious websites carrying the advertisement based content. ConceptTool may add a potentially unwanted add-on, plug-in or browser extension in Web browsers such Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome when PC users install various free programs from the Internet. When the PC user installs any free programs and not pay attention to any additional software that may be embedded into the installation process, they may also install unwanted extensions, add-ons or plug-ins like ConceptTool on their computer systems. PC users should always be careful when installing free applications because often, a program installer may involve an additional installation of another program that may not want to install in the first place. ConceptTool may show annoying pop-up ads and unwillingly redirect PC users to untrustworthy websites that were designed to probably generate advertising revenue from increased web traffic and ad clicks.
