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.

SaveSense is adware that may display random pop-up ads, discount coupons, offers and deals via a pop-up box in well-known online shopping websites and social networking websites that computer users are visiting. SaveSense may insert an adware supported add-on, plug-in or extension for Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome that may show pop-up, pop-under, banner, search, and in-text link interstitial ads. SaveSense may propagate and enter the PC throughout the installation of possibly unprotected free software downloads. SaveSense may commonly be embedded in the web browser when the computer user installs other free applications that may have added into their installation SaveSense. When the PC user installs free programs, he may also install SaveSense on the computer system. Once installed, SaveSense may highlight words on the websites that PC users are visiting changing them into hyperlinks. The links of SaveSense may be inserted within the text, and they may come with a double underline to separate them from usual links. When the PC user rolls the mouse over the link, the pop-up ads of SaveSense may emerge on the desktop of the computer system. If the PC user clicks on the pop-up links of SaveSense, the makers of the browser plug-in may make a profit from the clicks.

Digital Signatures
Digital Signatures
This section lists digital signatures that are attached to samples within this family. When analyzing and verifying digital signatures, it is important to confirm that the signature’s root authority is a well-known and trustworthy entity and that the status of the signature is good. Malware is often signed with non-trustworthy “Self Signed” digital signatures (which can be easily created by a malware author with no verification). Malware may also be signed by legitimate signatures that have an invalid status, and by signatures from questionable root authorities with fake or misleading “Signer” names.| Signer | Root | Status |
|---|---|---|
| SaveSense | UTN-USERFirst-Object | Hash Mismatch |
Block Information
Block Information
During analysis, EnigmaSoft breaks file samples into logical blocks for classification and comparison with other samples. Blocks can be used to generate malware detection rules and to group file samples into families based on shared source code, functionality and other distinguishing attributes and characteristics. This section lists a summary of this block data, as well as its classification by EnigmaSoft. A visual representation of the block data is also displayed, where available.| Total Blocks: | 1,074 |
|---|---|
| Potentially Malicious Blocks: | 306 |
| Whitelisted Blocks: | 751 |
| Unknown Blocks: | 17 |

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.- PriceMeter.A
