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.

In case your web clients start showing you increased amounts of commercial materials, some of which may be labeled as 'Ads by SVH,' then you should know that there is adware on your PC. This term means 'advertising-supported software. ' Some free programs may replace the page-based ads with their own ads to let the clients use their software without paying anything. However, the case with SVH is different because this application may not offer any helpful features. The ads that it creates are its one and only function. Since this adware lacks any utility, it can be expected that it relies on questionable delivery mechanisms. You may load SVH unwillingly if you skip the details during the installation of freeware. When the process is complete, this unreliable software may attach towards Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer as an extension. From this moment on, the adware may alter the configuration of the web clients successfully. It may substitute your homepage with some manipulated search site that shows sponsored links instead of legitimate results. The ads that SVH includes may be pop-ups, banners, videos and eye-catching animations. Some of these commercial materials, especially the multimedia elements, may consume a lot of system's resources. The results may be a decreased loading speed or potential freezes. It goes without saying that seeing the same ads on almost every page you set foot in may be extremely annoying. If the displayed coupons and discounts were helpful, some users could actually enjoy the presence of this adware. However, the majority of ads may take you to sites you have never even heard, and it may not be safe to purchase anything from them. It is also possible some links to open potentially compromised platforms, so you should delete SVH from your PC.
