Threat Metric

The Threat Meter is a malware assessment that SpywareRemove.com's research team is able to give every identifiable malware threat. Our Threat Meter includes several criteria based off of specific malware threats to value their severity, reach and volume. The Threat Meter is able to give you a numerical breakdown of each threat's initial Threat Level, Detection Count, Volume Count, Trend Path and Percentage Impact. The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.

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.

Although the FixIt by Clever Systems promises to improve the computer's performance greatly, it does not perform any major optimization tasks that will result in a definitive performance increase. Furthermore, the free version of the FixIt by Clever Systems does not perform any optimization tasks. Instead, its only ability is to generate a report that consists of hard disk space that can be freed, files that may not be needed, pending Registry optimization tasks, and other optimization operations that can be executed as soon as the user opts to purchase the full product.

Another worrying fact about the FixIt by Clever Systems is that this software's free version might not always be installed with the user's knowledge. It is not uncommon for Potentially Unwanted Programs to be distributed with the help of low-quality software bundles that use deceptive tricks to convince people to install software they might not be familiar with. If the free version of the FixIt by Clever Systems is installed on your computer, regardless if you did it on purpose or not, you may be bombarded with constant reminders and alerts telling you that your computer's performance can be improved by carrying out the optimization operations that the FixIt by Clever Systems recommends. However, you can only follow this advice and get rid of the messages when you pay $39.95 for the full version of this Potentially Unwanted Program.
