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:
Ranking: 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.

The Hohosearch.com search provider is operated by Hohosearch LLC that is not registered as an Internet service provider correctly, and users should avoid the Hohosearch.com site. The Hohosearch.com search provider may be promoted as a customized search engine that is best suited to Web surfers in Asia. It may be deemed as strange by some users because the Hohosearch.com page does not have versions for Web surfers from Russia, China, Japan and India and supports only an English version. In reality, the Hohosearch.com search engine is not patented by Hohosearch LLC and is a twisted version of Google that is crafted to show numerous advertisements and is not likely to be helpful in any way. The Hohosearch.com site is associated with a browser hijacker that may arrive on your computer bundled with free applications like Downware and FourFinders and cause browser crashes on a regular basis. The browser hijacker at hand may appear in your Plug-ins Manager with the name HohoSearch Enhancer and HohoSearch Toolbar.
The Hohosearch plug-in may install its files in the hidden AppData folder and work in your system background continuously. Computer users that use Google.com as their start page may not notice significant differences with Hohosearch.com because the Hohosearch.com site is made to resemble Google closely. Also, the Hohosearch.com browser hijacker may redirect users to videos, text and images found with Bing and Yahoo as well. For example, a video search on Hohosearch.com might lead users to the results page of Yahoo and an image search would lead you to Bing.com. The code of the Hohosearch.com page suggests that it functions as a redirect-gateway that may redirect users to phishing pages and harmful domains. Security investigators report that the Hohosearch.com browser hijacker is related to the Chroomium Browser that is an ad-supported clone of Google Chrome and lacks essential security features. Computer users should not install HohoSearch plug-in to avoid being exposed to Man-in-the-Middle attacks and malvertising. You should consider employing the services of a reliable anti-malware shield to protect your Windows PC and make sure browser hijackers and badware are not running on your machine.
