Threat Metric
The following fields listed on the Threat Meter containing a specific value, are explained in detail below:
Threat Level: The threat level scale goes from 1 to 10 where 10 is the highest level of severity and 1 is the lowest level of severity. Each specific level is relative to the threat's consistent assessed behaviors collected from SpyHunter's risk assessment model.
Detection Count: The collective number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular malware threat. The detection count is calculated from infected PCs retrieved from diagnostic and scan log reports generated by SpyHunter.
Volume Count: Similar to the detection count, the Volume Count is specifically based on the number of confirmed and suspected threats infecting systems on a daily basis. High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count.
Trend Path: The Trend Path, utilizing an up arrow, down arrow or equal symbol, represents the level of recent movement of a particular threat. Up arrows represent an increase, down arrows represent a decline and the equal symbol represent no change to a threat's recent movement.
% Impact (Last 7 Days): This demonstrates a 7-day period change in the frequency of a malware threat infecting PCs. The percentage impact correlates directly to the current Trend Path to determine a rise or decline in the percentage.

Although the name of Internet Browser is so trivial that you may mistake the program for an integrated Windows tool, in fact, it is not. This application is not the best software you can use to surf the web because it is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). Its developers, who intentionally haven't introduced themselves, advertise Internet Browser as a brand new web client that can guarantee the privacy of the user while increasing the browsing speed. They also claim that their product possesses a user-friendly interface that should improve the overall satisfaction of going online. As with the majority of PUPs, the actual user feedback is not as positive as the promised features can make you expect. The people behind this questionable web client benefit by inserting custom advertisements. These new commercial materials may appear on the larger part of websites you are about to visit. The pop-ups, banners, interstitial ads and targeted video materials may cover a considerable part of your screen, which may distract and annoy you. Additionally, some of the ads may block essential page buttons. If you try to click on some site element, you may instead click on an ad against your will. It is not a good move to click on the marketing materials because, on some occasions, they may load potentially unsafe domains such as malicious, phishing or fraudulent sites. Due to a large number of ads, the speed of Internet Browser may be way slower than the speed of legitimate web clients. The official page of this PUP, which is www-internetbrowser.com, advertises the product but doesn't host it. Instead, the questionable application may arrive bundled with other free programs. To delete it from your PC, you should use advanced security software.
