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.

Contrary to its name, Best Malware Protection is no protection from malware – Best Malware Protection is malware itself! As a copy of many other similar rogue anti-malware programs, Best Malware Protection recycles the same fake system alerts with no regard for the real state of your PC. Best Malware Protection also alters the Registry without permission as a way to run automatically and fakes scans that claim your computer is full of malware. Best Malware Protection will try to get you to buy Best Malware Protection to fix problems that don't really exist, but Best Malware Protection's registered version is equally malicious and should never be purchased.
Best Malware Protection... the Best at Infecting Your Computer!
Visiting dangerous websites or websites that host dangerous advertisements, downloading suspicious files or having a related Trojan infection can all cause Best Malware Protection to appear on your computer. Best Malware Protection is identical to other known threats from the FakeVimes family like Privacy Guard Pro, PrivacyGuard Pro 2.0, Extra Antivirus, Fast Antivirus 2009, Presto TuneUp, Windows Security Suite, Smart Virus Eliminator, Packed.Generic.245, Volcano Security Suite, Windows Enterprise Suite, Enterprise Suite, Additional Guard, Live PC Care, PC Live Guard, Live Enterprise Suite, Security Antivirus, My Security Wall, CleanUp Antivirus and Smart Security. Best Malware Protection can be acquired from the same sources as Best Malware Protection's kin.
Installing Best Malware Protection intentionally or accidentally will result in Best Malware Protection starting up right along with Windows, since Best Malware Protection alters your Registry to make itself a forced part of your PC's startup routine. In addition to scans that always tell you that your computer is seething with malware, you'll see messages like these:
Security Center Alert

Insecurity Internet activity. Threat of virus attack
Due to insecure Internet browsing your PC can easily get infected with viruses, worms and Trojans without knowledge, and that can lead to system slowdown, freezes and crashes. Also insecure Internet activity can result in revealing your personal information. To get full advanced real-time protection for PC and Internet activity, register your anti-virus software.
Every last one of Best Malware Protection's errors is out of sync with your computer's real health and should be completely ignored. In fact, Best Malware Protection actually uses these to block certain essential security applications that could be used to fight off malware. If you really want these warnings and alerts to go away, you need to remove Best Malware Protection!
Protecting Your PC from Best Malware Protection
If you're having trouble deleting Best Malware Protection, faking registration by inputting the code 'U2FD-S2LA-H4KA-UEPB'. This can reduce the threat's attacks and may make it less troublesome to get rid of Best Malware Protection and related malware.
No matter how you try to remove Best Malware Protection, you should always insure that there aren't any running malware processes when you try to delete the infections. This is usually achieved simply by rebooting into Safe Mode with the F8 key, which places you in a startup mode that only uses a bare minimum of necessary startup processes.
You should assume that Best Malware Protection is still present on your machine until you've rebooted and performed a malware scan that shows no evidence of Best Malware Protection's existence. Many types of malware like Best Malware Protection can recover from an incomplete deletion after a reboot, but if you don't see any problem after you've restarted, then chances are good that you're home free.
