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:
Popularity Rank: 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.
Infected Computers: The number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular threat detected on infected computers as reported by SpyHunter.

Wizard 101 is a gaming application, which is automatically dropped onto the PC when the computer user logs into Wizard101.com website to play some online game. While Wizard 101 is not as dangerous as numerous damaging applications, it is reported by security researchers and PC users to be an unwanted program. Wizard 101 is difficult to uninstall from the corrupted PC because it doesn't show up on the list of Add/Remove Programs. If Wizard 101 has entered the PC without the computer user's authorization asked, it means that this application can be configured to record browsing activity, result in disturbing diversions on the hijacked Internet browser and show unwanted pop-up advertisements during your Internet sessions. Once Wizard 101 enters the targeted computer system, it modifies some computer system's settings involving the default start page, default search engine and other.

Similar Families
Similar Families
This section lists other families that share similarities with this family, based on EnigmaSoft’s analysis. Many malware families are created from the same malware toolkits and use the same packing and encryption techniques but uniquely extend functionality. Similar families may also share source code, attributes, icons, subcomponents, compromised and/or invalid digital signatures, and network characteristics. Researchers leverage these similarities to rapidly and effectively triage file samples and extend malware detection rules.- GameHack.HG
