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:

The peculiar slogan 'Ad by RoyalAds' that you may see on banners, pop-ups, floating ads and full-page ads in your browser are caused by an adware infection on your computer. The RoyalAds adware is dispersed among web surfers with the help of freeware bundles that most users install with the 'Express' or 'Typical' option. The RoyalAds adware follows the tradition of its predecessors RoyalCoupon and RoyalShopperApp and uses tracking cookies, DOM storage data and detect your approximate geographical location to show tailor-suited ads. The RoyalAds adware may suggest you to install software like YTDownloader and Search Better to earn pay-per-install revenue despite the bad reputation of those applications. The main objective of the RoyalAds adware is to show as many ads as possible in your browser and earn affiliate revenue for its creators. Needless to say, the RoyalAds adware may cover your browser surface with commercials and obstruct your Internet activities. The playback of video content on the Web could be impaired, and your browser may crash. The RoyalAds adware may use JavaScript to inject sponsored advertisements on non-affiliated pages and may change your default search aggregator to Scorecardresearch.com without notice. The RoyalAds adware may place its files in the AppData folder to avoid your attention and security scans. It may add a task in the Windows Task Scheduler to start with your OS and link an executable DLL to your Web browser. Computer users can address the RoyalAds adware with a trustworthy anti-spyware application that can clean their system.
