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.

The FlashFree software is deemed by security analysts as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware functionality. The FlashFree extension is deployed as a tool to block Flash and Silverlight objects and started as a clean program, but users began to report ads by FlashFree in their web browser. Web surfers should note that their browsing history, search terms, and bookmarks can be recorded and used by the FlashFree extension to deliver targeted marketing materials. Many computer users may not like that the FlashFree browser extension allows advertisers to insert in-text hyperlinks to sponsored products and services and display ad panels and banners across their preferred online resources. Moreover, the ads loaded by FlashFree may cover your browser surface and may feature links to suspicious Internet locations. No computer user in his right mind would endorse unsafe advertisements, and you may want to remove the FlashFree extension from your system by using a reputable anti-spyware application.
