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:

Runbig.xyz is not a website that users are likely to visit intentionally. After all, it contains absolutely no useful features or information. Instead, its sole reason for existing is to deliver dubious content and advertisements via a popular browser-based tactic. Indeed, Runbig.xyz is practically identical to all the other con pages that abuse the otherwise legitimate push notifications feature to generate unwanted advertisements.
This particular scheme revolves around tricking visitors into pressing the shown 'Allow' button without stating what the consequences will be explicitly. In fact, most scheme pages actively mask what the button does by showing various false and misleading messages. One such tactic involves pretending to be doing a CAPTCHA check. Other users may be shown a video that is supposedly encountering playback issues. The questionable site will claim that the only way to see the video is to press 'Allow.' Some possible deceptive messages include:
'Press Allow to verify that you are not a robot'
'To watch, press 'Allow'
'Press 'Allow'to download'
Unfortunately, the advertisements delivered by such dubious sources are not to be trusted. Oftentimes they promote other hoax websites that could be performing fake giveaways, phishing schemes, and other shady activities. Users also could be presented with offers to install software products that are likely to have hidden adware or browser hijacker capabilities.
