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.

The Playzy browser application by Bitcocktail offers gaming features that may be attractive to many computer users, but you might want to know that it is perceived as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware functionality. The Playzy browser app may appear as a Browser Helper Object in Internet Explorer under the name of 'Playzy Helper', and it can modify the user's home page and search provider. The Playzy BHO is ad-supported, and you might experience an abundance of advertising materials inside your browser. The Playzy adware can monetize your clicks on ads, banners, search results, pop-ups, text links, transitional and full page ads provided by its Browser Helper Object. The Playzy BHO can be downloaded as a stand-alone installer, but in most cases, users install it as an extra tool in free application installers. You might want to purge the Playzy browser application from your system as soon as the ads start piling, and you could do that quick and efficiently with the help of a reliable anti-malware tool.
