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.

Fpseek.com is a reliable search engine that brings results provided by the Bing.com search algorithm. Fpseek.com does not appear to host any marketing content or advertisements, nor does it link users to any suspicious content. At first sight, the website may look like it is associated with Bing.com, but this is not true – Fpseek.com is not linked to Microsoft, and this means that the content of this page may change from reliable to suspicious at any point in time. Regardless of this, Fpseek.com is safe in its current state, and the only dubious thing about it is the fact that it attracts a significant fraction of its visitors by taking advantage of browser hijacking software.
More than one hijacker may be linked to Fpseek.com, and the different types of hijacking applications may bring different changes to the Web browser's configuration. The good news is that the Fpseek.com browser hijackers aren't unsafe, and the only thing they can do is annoy the users by modifying their default new tab page, homepage, or search engine to Fpseek.com. These actions are nothing more than annoying, but this does not mean that users should allow 3rd-party software to tamper with their Web browser's settings.
If you believe that the Fpseek.com was brought to your Web browser by mistake, then you should consider using an anti-virus scanner to identify and remove the browser hijacking software responsible for the change. You also may attempt to remove the intruder manually by looking through the list of installed browser extensions and finding the unknown extension that is likely to be responsible for the problem.
