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:
Ranking: 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.

The Search Defense software from Gratifying Apps is classified as adware by security experts because it injects advertisement content on pages the users visit. The Search Defense browser software may claim to deliver security features, but it will do so with limited potency. The Search Defense's ad providers will follow you around the web via tracking cookies to display related ads. The Search Defense adware is distributed mainly through freeware bundles like its compatriots: BrowserProtect; Web Guard; Browser Champion and Browser Warden. Users may want to uninstall the Search Defense extension and clean all residual files with the services of a powerful anti-spyware tool.
