Threat Scorecard
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:
Popularity Rank: 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.

PUP.GetNow.A is a potentially unwanted program (PUP), which may be installed to a PC without the computer user knowing about it. PUP.GetNow.A may also be typically installed legitimately incorporated in another program, often labelled as an 'AD-Supported program', in which the End User License Agreement commonly forces the computer user to accept that, in addition to the software product, he is downloading. Extermination of PUP.GetNow.A may cause harm of the AD-Supported application, which was installed with it. While being installed, PUP.GetNow.A may cover the screen of the computer system with disturbing pop-up adverts. PUP.GetNow.A may also trace the PC user's browsing habits, gather numerous data and send it to third-parties for advertising purposes. Therefore, PUP.GetNow.A may lead the computer user to serious privacy issues. PUP.GetNow.A may modify browser settings to permit other malware attacks.

Similar Families
Similar Families
This section lists other families that share similarities with this family, based on EnigmaSoft’s analysis. Many malware families are created from the same malware toolkits and use the same packing and encryption techniques but uniquely extend functionality. Similar families may also share source code, attributes, icons, subcomponents, compromised and/or invalid digital signatures, and network characteristics. Researchers leverage these similarities to rapidly and effectively triage file samples and extend malware detection rules.- Convagent.I
