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.

EFast Browser is not the right web client to use if you want to achieve optimal operating speed. This application behaves in a manner that the majority of people may find annoying and unenjoyable. The negative feedback is the reason security experts unanimously define eFast Browser as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). What may bother the users is that this questionable web client may display too many commercial materials. These ads are a way for the developers of this software to generate income. The sponsored links may lead you to some partner sites, whose administrators willingly pay referral commissions in exchange for a steady flow of visitors. Some of these partner sites may be unknown e-commerce platforms that seek to grow, but other pages may be created with the sole intention to spread harmful content. When you take in mind that you can never be sure where the particular ad will take you, the best decision is to abstain from clicking on any of the commercial materials. If you use eFast Browser, you may detect numerous intrusive pop-ups, banners, eye-catching animations or videos. If you notice some words with a double green or blue underlining, then they may be hyperlinked. Some ads may be positioned in a clever way to make you click on them even if you don't want to do so. For example, they may overlap some page buttons. Another tactic is to create a fake 'X' button that doesn't close the commercial window but opens the link. As a consequence of the presence of so many marketing elements, the operating speed of this PUP may be lower than the speed of popular browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. The removal of this questionable application may be difficult, so you should do it with an updated anti-malware tool.
