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 i-Shop browser assistant is promoted in freeware packages as the ultimate online shopping companion that would allow Internet buyers to save more money and obtain exclusive coupons. However, the i-Shop shopping companion is not as helpful as you may be lead to believe and users that installed it might be presented with an overwhelming number of pop-up and pop-under advertisements. Security researchers classify the i-Shop app as adware and put it in the same category as Boxore Client and CommAd. Additionally, the i-Shop adware may read the meta tags of pages you visit and block their native ads to load commercials from sponsors only. That way the i-Shop adware would maximize its efficiency and make sure that infected users would have access to commercial offers from partners only. The i-Shop adware acts the same way as EarnSale, may use tracking and session cookies, and collect your Internet browsing history to show customized commercials in your Internet client. You should keep in mind that the ads powered by i-Shop may not be safe, and you may be redirected to potentially compromised sites and welcomed to input your credentials for Facebook on a phishing page. The i-Shop adware may place its files in the Program Files directory on your system drive but may not appear in your 'Programs and Features' module. i-Shop may implement an executable DLL file linked to your Internet client and perform occasional browser redirects. Users are strongly advised to address the i-Shop adware with a credible anti-spyware tool.
