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.

The PWS:Win32/Farei Trojan is a malware infection specifically designed to steal its victims' passwords. Trojans like PWS:Win32/Farei will typically target passwords for online email accounts, credit card information and passwords associated with banking accounts and transactions. Because of this, a PWS:Win32/Farei Trojan infection can affect your finances, apart from wrecking your computer system. ESG security researchers consider that PWS:Win32/Farei is a severe security threat, since PWS:Win32/Farei puts your privacy and bank account at risk. To remove PWS:Win32/Farei from your computer system, ESG security researchers recommend using a fully-updated anti-malware application. In some cases, PWS:Win32/Farei may be accompanied with a dangerous rootkit infection, which makes the removal of PWS:Win32/Farei even more difficult. In these cases, a specialized anti-rootkit application is recommended.

Preventing a PWS:Win32/Farei Trojan Infection
PWS:Win32/Farei is classified as such because PWS:Win32/Farei Trojan cannot spread by itself from one computer to the next (like a network worm) or corrupt files and quickly spread through a hard drive (like a virus). Rather, much like the famed Trojan Horse from which PWS:Win32/Farei Trojan gets its name, a Trojan like PWS:Win32/Farei requires that the victim download and install PWS:Win32/Farei Trojan. To accomplish this, the criminal uses deception, in order to deliver PWS:Win32/Farei into your computer. There are several ways that criminals can do this, and learning to recognize them is essential in keeping your bank accounts safe from this dangerous malware infection.
Trojans such as PWS:Win32/Farei can often be found in file sharing networks with low levels of security. Criminals will often disguise PWS:Win32/Farei as a popular video or music file. Most of the time, files containing a Trojan infection will be compressed so that the victim cannot view their contents until it is decompressed (which will then often run the Trojan automatically.) However, hiding PWS:Win32/Farei in a fake software download can be as simple as changing the file's name.
PWS:Win32/Farei has also been linked to various spam email attacks. In fact, once the criminals behind it use PWS:Win32/Farei to obtain your email passwords, they can then use your email accounts to send out spam email to all of your contacts. Spam email associated with PWS:Win32/Farei will often use some kind of deceptive email with an included attachment which, in reality, is an executable file which downloads and installs PWS:Win32/Farei.
