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.

Discover Treasure is an ad-oriented web extension that promises to enhance your online shopping. Just like the other similar shopping optimizers, Discover Treasure states it will show you the best deals and offers for the particular day. In theory, this activity should allow you to find the online stores that sell the products that you need at the cheapest price. In reality, the opinion of the clients about this adware tends to be negative, and many prefer to delete it as soon as they notice the changes that it causes. Discover Treasure may create many ads in the web browsers of the users. These commercial materials are not limited to one kind but, instead, you may notice a whole variety of them. On almost every site you view, you may face pop-ups, banners, videos and eye-catching animations. It may quickly become annoying since these multimedia elements may seize a quite large area of your screen. In case your PC is not very powerful, the presence of so many ads may increase the necessary time to load the pages noticeably. In some cases, it is even possible for your browser to freeze for several seconds, which may prove to be extremely irritating, especially if you are in a hurry. The content of the ads is not random – almost all of them may display products that can somehow be linked to your surfing history. Even if the announced price for these goods attracts your attention, you should proceed with great caution because nothing guarantees that the promoted pages are safe. This add-on may be difficult to remove as it attaches firmly, so you should use a dedicated security product for the job.
