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:

ContentPlatform is a PUP with adware capabilities. This browser plug-in is compatible with most modern browsers－Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. ContentPlatform is primarily distributed through software bundles; unfortunately, in most cases users are oblivious to the fact that additional applications are present in the package. Once ContentPlatform slithers its way into the machine, it will attach itself to one or more of the browsers and will start generating ads and pop-ups. User browsing data is used in order to target the ads. Bookmarks, frequented pages, and recent search queries are used in order to tailor the data to your specific tastes. Furthermore, ContentPlatform is not responsible for the content of the ads, it merely promotes them. While the ContentPlatform itself is relatively harmless, the ads and pop-ups it promotes may be a risk to the security of your computer. Suffice to say, clicking on any ads promoted by ContentPlatform is an ill-advised idea. If you see advertisements with "brought to you by ContentPlatform" in them, it means this annoying PUP has made your computer its home. Security experts advise the removal of ContentPlatform.
