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.

Fobber is a vicious information-stealing Trojan that focuses on your on-line activity. The malware is distributed via complex exploit kit called HanJuan. All it takes for the infection to happen is the user to click on a malicious advertisement. Once the kit enters, it links the computer with a Command and Control (C&C) server, controlled by the cyber criminals. The culprits can then download Fobber without displaying any visible signs. As a result, the users often have no clue whatsoever that their machines are monitored by spyware. Instead of trying to copy files from your hard drive, Fobber grabs the passwords to your valuable accounts. The primary target is the banking accounts as these credentials can be used to steal your money. Fobber injects harmful codes in your Internet clients and intercepts any information that you type on the financial platforms. This data is later encrypted and sent to the C&C servers. You should regularly scan your system with an advanced malware removal tool to detect and delete this dangerous Trojan in a timely manner.
