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 videoJunkie Search browser extension from Theappjunkies.com is promoted to users as a tool that grants immediate access to an unlimited number of movies, TV series and trailers. The videoJunkie Search extension is available for free installation, and you are not required to pay a monthly fee to benefit from the content presented at Gomovix.com. You may be interested to know that the videoJunkie Search app has a clone named 'videoJunkie Home,' which is published by Theappjunkies.com as a separate app on Chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/videojunkie-home/mddaajdkhhafmajaiaiociohioijnmoh
While the videoJunkie Search app can be found on Chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/videojunkie-search/plmdipdipkdlolggohalgfkocgijbhed. Both programs are ad-supported products, which generate money for Theappjunkies.com by showing targeted commercials on your new tab and every Web page you visit. The videoJunkie Search/videoJunkie Home extension is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), which requires the following privileges to facilitate the display of behavioral marketing.
- Read and change all your data on the websites you visit.
- Read and change your browsing history.
- Change your search settings to movie.eanswers.com.
We have tested the videoJunkie Search extension and found out that it might redirect the user to one of the following sites:
hxxp://movie.medianetnow.com/wim/lp/offer/?t1=85&t=gomovix
hxxp://games.njoyapps.com/wim/lp/offer/?t1=42&t=movixhub
The pages above suggest that the installation of videoJunkie Search is incomplete unless the nJoyGames Search and the filmsNet Start extensions are not installed as well. In reality, the videoJunkie Search extension was installed correctly, but it is associated with a wide network of ad-powered browsers extensions, which are designed to reroute users to search engines like Myprivatesearch.com and Movie.eanswers.com. The more time you spend on Myprivatesearch.com and Movie.eanswers.com the more money the company behind Theappjunkies.com earns from advertisements. You might want to know that whenever you explore content on Movixhub.com and Gomovix.com, which are supported by the videoJunkie Search, you might be redirected via Tinyfier.com/gomovix?i=583306&t=nf to third-party services like Hulu, Netflix and the Amazon Instant Video. Computer security researchers warn that the videoJunkie Search/videoJunkie Home extension is not a verified program that can be used to load media streams by Hulu, Netflix and the Amazon Instant Video. The Movie.eanswers.com site may look like a search service, but it is only a redirect-gateway to Myprivatesearch.com and Search.yahoo.com. If you are not fond of the browser redirects caused by videoJunkie Search and related browser extensions—use a capable security solution to remove it along with tracking cookies and unwanted changes to your Internet settings.
