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

The One Updater application tries to present itself as a useful tool that can help users check for software that needs to be updated and then apply any available patches. Unfortunately, this appears to not be the main reason for the creation of the application. Instead, infosec researchers have classified it as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) that tries to deploy additional intrusive applications onto the user's computer.
Indeed, the One Updater may be included as an additional application in shady software bundles and, if users do not check the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' menus specifically, they may not even notice the intruder application. Once installed, the application may try to create a Windows Service process that will run in the background of the system continuously. One Updater also may set up a persistence mechanism to ensure that it is executed automatically on every system start.
As a consequence of having the One Updater present on their computers, users risk having adware, browser hijackers, and other PUPs also delivered to their devices. These additional applications could be responsible for an increase in the advertisements encountered during browsing, cause unwanted redirects to suspicious or even unsafe websites, spy on the user's browsing activities, or try to obtain sensitive private data from the system.
While it is strongly recommended to use a reputable security solution to clean your computer or device, you also can look for signs of One Updater's presence by yourself. Files that have been associated with this program include its executable file - 'OneUpdater.exe,' as well as 'One Updater.lnk' in the %DESKTOP% folder, 'OneUpdaterConfig.xml' in %APPDATA%\OneUpdater\, and 'Uninstaller.ico' in the %LOCALAPPDATA%\One Updater\ folder.
