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:

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 Price Defend browser add-on is advertised as an instrument that will help online shoppers buy products with low prices and help them save time and money. However, the Price Defend browser add-on is recognized by security researchers as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware functionality. The Price Defend app is deployed in freeware setup files as an additional component that users may automatically install via the 'Typical' or 'Express' option.
The Price Defend PUP has versions for Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer that can display advertisements such as banners, ad panels, pop-ups and in-text hyperlinks to sponsors. Security researchers add that the Price Defend browser tool can record your online history, search queries and preferred websites in order to present you with custom-made ads. Moreover, the Price Defend app can detect your clicks on trusted online shops and display links to stores with a bad reputation.
You should note that the Price Defend tool can insert a registry key in Windows to run every time you start an online session, and that may delay the start of your web client. Web surfers may want to remove the Price Defend browser add-on from their system by using a trusted anti-spyware application.
