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.

Click-on-this.news is an untrusty website whose main purpose is to promote questionable pages and services through intrusive advertising campaigns. When users visit this page, they see a fake error message claiming they need to click on an 'Allow' button to view a video or some other content. Clicking on that button, however, subscribes the user to browser notifications from Click-on-this.news, which results in the user's device being flooded with useless and potentially unsafe advertisements, banners, fake discount codes, or bogus security alerts.
People usually land on pages like this one unintentionally. This happens if a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) has sneaked unnoticed into their PCs. Such tools come generally bundled within the installation packages of other programs; therefore, they are classified by malware researchers as undesired and potentially harmful.
PUPs can modify the browser's settings and replace the regular homepage and default search engine with some unsafe page like Click-on-this.news so that users are redirected against their will to this website each time they launch their browser. PUPs often track user data and browsing history as well, possibly creating serious privacy issues and potential financial losses for the user. You can download an automatic anti-malware tool to uninstall PUPs from your computer.
