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 PCTuto browser assistant could be seen as an additional offer in freeware bundles when you explore the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' option, and you should know that it is adware. Security experts warn users that the PCTuto adware is compatible with Internet Explore, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox, and you may expect to see ads by PCTuto across those browsers. The PCTuto adware might show banners, video promotions, floating ad boxes and contextual commercials based on the metadata of pages you preview. The PCTuto adware may read your browsing history to present you with customized ads. Moreover, the PCTuto adware may present you with full-page ads on the PCTuto.com domain where users can see links to widely used software like Adobe Photoshop, CCleaner, Skype and others. Security experts remind users not to download apps promoted by adware regardless of their name and icon because they may be corrupted and could be used by third parties to attack your computer. Additionally, the PCTuto adware may be connected to the rogue anti-spyware program named PC Antispyware 2010 used to scare users into paying a substantial fee for removing non-existing threats. Users should not follow links provided by the PCTuto adware to avoid visiting suspicious websites and installation of potentially harmful software. You might want to use a reputable anti-malware solution to eradicate the PCTuto adware safely.
