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.

Bronze Aid is adware that may expose you to numerous additional commercial materials when you are online. According to the creator of this unreliable add-on, which is SuperWeb LLC, the purpose of new deals, coupons and vouchers is to make it easier for you to shop online. Theoretically, the ads should let you buy the things you need at a lower price. The real consequences for the browsers, however, may not be as positive as some clients could anticipate. The commercial materials that Bronze Aid inserts may come in large quantities, which may cause annoyance and minor performance problems. In any site you open, you may encounter pop-ups, banners or eye-catching animations. The exact content of the deals may be specific to the particular PC user because this adware may access the surfing history and other browsing-related data.
The experts' advice is to be careful if you want to explore them. It is even better to ignore them completely. The reason is related to the security of your PC because there can be no verification that all partner pages of SuperWeb LLC are safe. Some may be involved in various hoaxes or offer compromised software. You should not forget that some of the multimedia ads like videos and animations may use a lot of system resources, which may disrupt the performance of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Just like other ad-oriented extensions by SuperWeb LLC, Bronze Aid may rely on the bundling method for its distribution, which means it may enter together with some third-party applications. Unfortunately, the manual removal of this adware may not fix your browsers, so you should use advanced security software.
