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 Swytshop browser add-on is advertised as a shopping buddy that is supposed to make 'shopping sweeter' according to its site Swytshop.com. Actually, the Swytshop add-on will make life sweeter for its developers because it is adware that might cover your screen with advertisements. The Swytshop adware can be found in freeware packages that users install with the 'Express' or 'Typical' option carelessly. You should know that the developers of the Swytshop adware do not guarantee the legitimacy and safety of the ads loaded via Swytshop in your browser.
Computer users might be redirected to untrusted domains and be offered to purchase products on insecure Internet shops. Moreover, the Swytshop adware may direct you to phishing pages that are created with the sole purpose of hijacking your social media and banking user credentials. Security experts advise users that are infected with the Swytshop adware to be mindful of the pages they visit. The Swytshop adware may show banners, floating ads and in-text commercials that could trigger drive-by downloads of software like ACommander and General Antispyware.
The programs mentioned before are recognized as rogue security tools that will not protect users and may cause severe damages indirectly. Additionally, the Swytshop works the same way as GorillaPrice and IEhlpr and may use tracking cookies, Web storage data and read information like your Internet history log to facilitate the display of tailor-suited advertisements. You may want to use a credible anti-malware instrument to scan your OS for files associated with Swytshop and clean your computer.
