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 WeatherBuddy program that you can find at Weatherbuddy.net is offered as a tool that you can use to keep up with weather forecast from services like Accuweather.com, Wunderground.com and Weather.com. WeatherBuddy is said to work as a widget you can add to your desktop and have a preview of the latest weather forecast from your favorite service. Computer users that run Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 may install a free version of WeatherBuddy that is ad-supported. The company WeatherBuddy LLC that created the weather widget offers a monthly subscription for WeatherBuddy that is priced at 3 USD, which are subtracted from your bank account every month. Supposedly, the subscription removes the advertisements shown by WeatherBuddy on your screen.
Computer users that are interested in subscribing to the services offered via WeatherBuddy may want to keep their wallets closed for now. Weather.com does not support a secure payment portal, and the company Weather Buddy LLC does not appear to be registered properly. It is a bad idea to input your credit card information, email and CSV code on forms provided at Wunderground.com. Additionally, PC security experts report that WeatherBuddy is an adware that may not deliver the promised functionality because it may add in-text ads on pages you load in Google Chrome, Opera, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. The WeatherBuddy adware may use information like your IP address, Windows version, browser type, approximate geographical location, software, and hardware configuration to generate tailor-suited commercials. The data collected by WeatherBuddy may be shared with vendors, consultants and other service providers who need access to such information to present you with recommended deals, coupons, and discounts on related pages. PC users that need to remove the WeatherBuddy adware may want to use a trust-worth anti-spyware scanner that can erase WeatherBuddy and the persistent tracking cookies that it may have downloaded.
