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.

Protectdevice.org is an untrustworthy website that appears to be running various online tactics. One confirmed behavior of the page consists of displaying a version of the popular 'Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!' tactic. Users are advised to approach any messages or alerts associated with the page with caution. It also should be noted that most users who land on the Protectdevice.org page did not do so intentionally. Rogue sites, such as this one are commonly reached via forced redirects.
Protectdevice.org will try to convince its visitors that their computers or devices are infected with malware threats via several pop-ups and a window showing results from a supposed threat scan. To add legitimacy to these otherwise completely unsubstantiated claims, the page will exploit the name of a reputable security vendor. In this case, it is McAfee. The important thing to remember is that no legitimate company will rely on such underhanded methods to distribute its products. Indeed, McAfee Corp. has absolutely no connection to Protectdevice.org.
