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:

Media fans that prefer the comfort of home instead of going to a crowded cinema may be interested in using the FreeTheMedia Player program to watch their movies and music clips. The FreeTheMedia Player program has an official site that is located at Freethemediaplayer.com that you can browse to familiarize with its features. The FreeTheMedia Player software is published as a free program, and you don't need to bring out your credit card. The FreeTheMedia Player application is a custom build of the open source project MPlayer and is tailored to look like a Windows Media Player to make users transition to a familiar interface. Another selling point of the FreeTheMedia Player is that you will not be bothered with third-party codecs because the FreeTheMedia Player comes with its rendering engine.
However, the FreeTheMedia Player is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) because its sponsors may use it to exhibit marketing materials on your screen automatically. Some security analysts argue that the FreeTheMedia Player has adware capabilities as well, and might welcome you to install a video plug-in to your browser and make the FreeTheMedia Player handle all of your media requests. The FreeTheMedia Player program functions similarly to KeyPlayer media player and BR Media Player and may run in the system background as a system driver to ensure its operations. Analysis suggests that the FreeTheMedia Player may use tracking cookies and Web beacons to build an advertising profile about you, and show related deals and offers on your screen. Also, the FreeTheMedia Player does not handle well the resolution of 1080p and MKV files. The possible poor performance and abundance of advertisements may be enough to convince users to uninstall the FreeTheMedia Player with the help of a credible anti-spyware tool.
