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:
Popularity Rank: 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.
Infected Computers: The number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular threat detected on infected computers as reported by SpyHunter.

Media Viewer Image
Media Viewer is adware that may compromise online searches of the PC user by replacing search results in any well-known search engine with sponsored links forcibly redirecting the computer user to questionable websites that may be commercial. Media Viewer may insert a potentially unwanted add-on, plug-in or extension in Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome Web browsers when computer users install various free applications from suspicious download websites on the Internet. When computer users install any free programs from questionable download websites, they may also install Media Viewer on their PCs. Once installed, Media Viewer may take over and change an online search box in any genuine search provider and replace it with its own. Media Viewer may display intrusive pop-up advertisements and messages, and unwillingly reroute PC users to unknown websites created to possibly earn money from increased web traffic and ad clicks.
