EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards evaluate and rank threats using several metrics including real-world and potential risk factors, trends, frequency, prevalence, and persistence.

The NewTab browser extension could be offered to you in freeware bundles as a tool that will optimize the new tab of your web browser. However, security researchers discovered that the NewTab extension can be classified as adware because NewTab 9.0.2 displays many advertisements in the form of pop-up windows, banners, and ad boxes. Adware such as the NewTab 9.0.2 browser extension can display ads that may cover your browser surface and obstruct your comfortable online activities. The NewTab adware could be put together in the niche of ad-supported new tab optimizers along with SearchNewTab, Lightning SpeedDial and NewTab Connect that work as advertisement engines for vendors. The NewTab 9.0.2 adware can use its browser integration to gain access to your bookmarks, web history and to modify your online experience by presenting you with custom-made ads. To stop the activities of the NewTab 9.0.2 adware, you might want to use a credible anti-spyware tool.
