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.

Updatepcmc.xyz is a dubious website that appears to exist to run various online tactics solely. Indeed, infosec researchers have observed the page trying to take advantage of its visitors by showing them variants of the 'Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!' and 'Your Windows 10 is infected with Viruses' schemes. What exactly will be shown by the hoax page could be based on certain factors, such as the user's IP address and geolocation.
In most cases, Updatepcmc.xyz will display various fake alerts and security warnings presented as if coming from a reputable security vendor, usually Norton or McAfee. It should be pointed out that neither company has any connection to the websites exploiting their logos, branding, interface and more. Users also should disregard any results from a supposed threat scan of their systems performed by the dubious page. No website is capable of such functionality, and this is simply another fake claim aimed at scaring the victim into downloading a promoted application or buying a subscription for one. In the first case, the delivered application is likely to be an invasive PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) disguised as a seemingly useful tool, while in the second option, the con artists may be trying to earn monetary gains via illegitimate commission fees.
