Threat Metric

The Threat Meter is a malware assessment that SpywareRemove.com's research team is able to give every identifiable malware threat. Our Threat Meter includes several criteria based off of specific malware threats to value their severity, reach and volume. The Threat Meter is able to give you a numerical breakdown of each threat's initial Threat Level, Detection Count, Volume Count, Trend Path and Percentage Impact. The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.

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.

Threat Level:	10/10
Infected PCs:	7

Best Antivirus Software, contrary to its name, isn't anti-virus software at all, but a rogue AV product that attempts to waylay you with fraudulent threat detection information. Best Antivirus Software is incapable of providing you with accurate system diagnostics data and doesn't have any benefits for your PC. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers encourage Best Antivirus Software's removal both quickly and with suitably adept anti-malware software, since Best Antivirus Software may also cause security issues by hijacking your web browser or blocking genuine security programs. If Best Antivirus Software blocks the very anti-malware scanners that you need to remove Best Antivirus Software, you should attempt to launch your operating system without Best Antivirus Software loading – such as by booting from a removable drive device or using Safe Mode.

Best Antivirus Software – Why a Name and Looks Aren't Everything with Security Software

Best Antivirus Software borrows its appearance from a popular AV brand, but isn't affiliated with any type of legitimate PC security company, and SpywareRemove.com malware analysts advise you to treat Best Antivirus Software as just as malicious as any virus or Trojan. As scamware, Best Antivirus Software isn't designed to detect real PC threats, but creates error messages, scanner results and other types of security information that detect fake infections and attacks. Since Best Antivirus Software's information is valueless for your computer's security, you should do your best to ignore every pop-up and other form of fraudulent info that Best Antivirus Software sends your way.

Best Antivirus Software's long term goal is to encourage you to spend money on its software, which SpywareRemove.com malware researchers discourage as a pointless danger to both your immediate cash holdings and any future transactions. Because Best Antivirus Software belongs to the FakeVimes family which is known to create 'junk' files within operating system directories, you should be careful to remove Best Antivirus Software with anti-malware programs that can delete all of Best Antivirus Software's components without harming your OS.

Why Best Antivirus Software is Close to Being the Worst Software for 'Protecting' Your PC

In addition to its fake security warnings and its ability to create fake malware files in your operating system's folder, Best Antivirus Software can also include functions that may actually damage your PC over time due to accompanying reduced security features. Some symptoms of Best Antivirus Software attacks that SpywareRemove.com malware experts encourage you to do something about immediately include:

Blocked security, anti-virus and general anti-malware programs. Best Antivirus Software may or may not claim that these programs are being blocked for your own safety, and, in general, it's advised to try to disable Best Antivirus Software before you run any application that could be blocked by Best Antivirus Software.
Browser redirects to unusual or even hostile sites. Best Antivirus Software may also block safe websites, such as those affiliated with PC security companies.
