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.

FileTour is a detection name that refers to a family of adware-powered programs, which were discovered in the last week of September 2017. A wave of FileTour variants were detected when computer users submitted complaints that their browser started showing many ads that feature slogans like 'Results powered by FileTour,' 'Powered by FileTour,' 'Ads powered by FileTour,' 'Brought to you by FileTour,' 'Generated by FileTour' and 'Ads by FileTour.' The FileTour detection name is not used by all cybersecurity vendors and compromised users may find that their scanners may use the following names to refer to the objects utilized by the FileTour adware:
- Adware/FileTour.A.2269
- HEUR/QVM19.1.0000.Malware.Gen
- Malware.Generic!ln1LE00ectG@2 (thunder)
- RiskWare[Downloader]/Win32.LMN
- Trojan.LoadMoney.1154
- Win32/Adware.FileTour.BUD
- Win32/Adware.FileTour.DSY
- not-a-virus:Downloader.Win32.LMN.akw
The FileTour program is identical in behavior to adware we covered the same month such as CounterFlix and Setli. Observations show that FileTour may make modifications to how pages are loaded in the browser and add sponsored content from ad servers. The pages you spent the most time on may appear to include pop-up windows, floating ad boxes and open new tabs with promotional content. The FileTour adware may suggest users try out recommended software like System Optimizer Pro that has a trial version that doesn't boast a favorable reputation. Computer experts advise users to refrain from following links powered by FileTour and avoid installing apps that are promoted by the adware. Removing the FileTour adware and related data is possible with the help of a trusted anti-malware utility.

Digital Signatures
Digital Signatures
This section lists digital signatures that are attached to samples within this family. When analyzing and verifying digital signatures, it is important to confirm that the signature’s root authority is a well-known and trustworthy entity and that the status of the signature is good. Malware is often signed with non-trustworthy “Self Signed” digital signatures (which can be easily created by a malware author with no verification). Malware may also be signed by legitimate signatures that have an invalid status, and by signatures from questionable root authorities with fake or misleading “Signer” names.| Signer | Root | Status |
|---|---|---|
| GG | GG | Self Signed |
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: | 1 |
