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:

Webdefencerequired.com is a rogue website, that relies on deceptive and manipulative materials to take advantage of its visitors. The particular variant that users may encounter on the page, could be determined based on multiple factors, including their IP address, geolocation, device type and possibly more. When cybersecurity researchers analyzed the page, they were presented with a variant of the 'Your PC is infected with 5 viruses!' tactic.
In this tactic, the untrustworthy website tries to convince users that their computers are infected with several malware threats. The page will even show a pop-up window with the results of a supposed threat scan of the device. Of course, no website is capable of performing such scans on its own. To make the false alerts and security warnings seem more urgent, Webdefenderequired.com pretends as if they are coming from the cybersecurity company McAfee Corp. Users should remember that no reputable developers or publishers ever resort to using rogue websites as part of the promotion of their products.
As such, the likely goal of the people behind Webdefecerequired.com is to earn illegitimate commission fees, based on the transactions carried out via the dubious page. Rogue websites of this type also may be spreading annoying PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs). Once installed on the system, these PUPs could activate a host of intrusive functions and act as adware, browser hijackers and even data trackers.
