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.

Power users may be interested to try out the Fast-Search browser enhancer (also seen as Fast-Search Apps) that promises to improve their search capabilities. However, security authorities perceive the Fast-Search browser enhancer as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware capabilities. The Fast-Search enhancer has a rather vague EULA (End-user License Agreement) and controversial Privacy Policy. You may want to know that the Fast-Search browser enhancer does not have a publicly known developer and is supported by advertisers. Additionally, the Fast-Search app is not digitally signed and web surfers using Fast-Search may be targeted on untrusted websites via security exploits. The Fast-Search app uses DOM storage data, tracking cookies and detects your approximate geographical location to execute its operations. Web surfers using the Fast-Search app may see sponsored links from Fast-Search on Google and Bing and may be redirected to suspicious services. The Fast-Search app is fully compatible with Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox and may appear as a browser plugin on the 'Programs and Features' list. The Fast-Search app can be used to show banners, pop-up and pop-under windows loaded with promotions from partners. The Fast-Search enhancer may suggest you to install programs like FiveInstall, AntivirSolution and IB Updater Service that could decrease your computer performance and open attack vectors for web-based attacks. Responsible computer users may want to remove the Fast-Search app and install a trustworthy anti-malware shield to protect their files and secure their Internet traffic.
