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.

Computer users that want to save videos on their machines may be targeted by adware developers. Fans of trending video channels on YouTube, Vimeo, and Dailymotion, may neglect the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' option of freeware bundles that claim to offer video download programs. Unfortunately, the Video Search PRO program may be promoted as a free tool and be powered by Truveo, but it is adware. The Truveo video search engine was released in 2004 and was squired by AOL Inc. The search engine in the interface of the Video Search PRO is not powered by Truveo and might welcome users to download a corrupted binary. The Video Search PRO adware is promoted on Snipfiles.com/video-search-pro as a helpful video download tool, but users will be quick to realize that it can decrease their overall computer's performance.
The Video Search PRO adware may appear in your 'Programs and Features' panel as a browser plug-in and work in your system background while your PC is turned on. The installer of the Video Search PRO adware is a portable executable that might extract several runtime DLLs to the hidden AppData folder to facilitate its operations and modify the behavior of your Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. The Video Search PRO adware is similar to the Video Download Converter Toolbar and YTDownloader, but it may place an icon in your system tray area and present you with a program window with a search bar and promotional materials. The Video Search PRO adware may collect information like your IP address and Internet browsing history to help advertisers display customized offers and deals. You need to use a reliable anti-spyware utility to clean your system from the Video Search PRO adware securely.
