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.

BigGameCountdown Toolbar is a browser toolbar that promises many positive features, but comes with a range of negative aspects as well. It is developed by Mindspark Interactive Network, a company that is known for its dubious products. BigGameCountdown claims it will allow you to watch professional basketball directly from your browser. You may also be tempted to install it because of the option to access live results or read the latest headlines. While it is not confirmed if the toolbar can achieve everything promised, its side-effects are guaranteed. BigGameCountdown Toolbar acts as traditional adware and creates many ads. They may be seen as pop-ups, banners, interstitial and in-text ads. Such large variety of commercial materials often causes distraction and annoyance, especially as the ads may cover some important page elements. The sponsored links may slow your browser or even result in crashes, regardless if you prefer Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer. If you click on the newly created pop-ups and banners, you may enter some potentially harmful pages. You may be tricked by the seemingly good offers, which often correspond to your current needs. This coincidence happens because the adware tracks your browsing history. If you want to end this behavior, which doesn't benefit you, you should delete BigGameCountdown Toolbar.
