Threat Scorecard
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 KeyStream program claims to aid Web surfers in discovering websites related to their interests by providing a service similar to StumbleUpon.com. The KeyStream program can be seen in freeware bundles and may be accompanied by third-party software like BackUpDutyLite and Sambreel. However, the KeyStream program is deemed by security experts as adware. The KeyStream adware does not have a functional official site and its privacy policy and EULA are made available to users only when they install the app intentionally or not. The KeyStream adware is very similar to HugeApps and Complitly and will use non-personally identifiable data like your browser type, local time zone, OS version and IP address to generate tailor-suited ads. Additionally, the KeyStream adware will detect your approximate geographical location and record your recently entered search criteria on Yahoo, Bing, Google and Ask to show coupons, discounts and special deals. The KeyStream adware may display banners, pop-up windows and floating ads on your browser surface. Security experts add that KeyStream may slow down your browser and block native ads on websites you visit. The KeyStream adware may feature links to potentially harmful domains and may invite you to change your default search engine to Apype.com that is related to a browser hijacker. The KeyStream adware may appear in your 'Programs and Features' panel, but users may experience troubles removing it because adware developers often do not provide uninstallers to their software. Fortunately, you could use the help of a reliable anti-spyware tool to remove all files related to the KeyStream adware safely.
