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 VAFCompressor program by TUGUU SL is promoted as a tool that can reduce the size of VAF files and users may see it incorporated with freeware bundles. However, TUGUU SL is not known for its useful apps and associated with a plethora of adware. The VAFCompressor program falls in the same category as New Player and Ifishplayer and is deemed as adware. Security researchers alert that the VAFCompressor adware does not have an official site and a valid digital certificate. The VAFCompressor adware may attach a plug-in to your Internet browser and represent a vulnerability that may be exploited by third parties. The VAFCompressor adware works similarly to the DomaIQ and Actual Click Shopping adware and may use Web storage data and your IP address to generate tailor-suited advertising content. The VAFCompressor adware may display banners, floating ad-boxes, pop-up and pop-under windows that host discounts and coupons. Security researchers remind users that the VAFCompressor adware may promote rogue security tools like Antivirus Center and Windows PC Aid. Needless to say, the activities of the VAFCompressor may slow down your system and redirect you to potentially compromised sites where vulnerabilities in your browser might be exploited. Security researchers reveal that the VAFCompressor adware may place its main executable in the Temp folder to evade detection and be listed as a startup program. Computer users should install a trusted anti-spyware solution to purge the binary associated with the VAFCompressor adware securely.
