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.

Framed Display is a variant of the Yontoo Adware, a Web-browsing add-on that displays extra advertisements and may hijack your browser. Members of this family are noteworthy for their poor distribution and advertising practices, which could allow Framed Display to be installed by default and endanger your PC with unsafe content. Unless you find strong reasons for making use of Framed Display, deleting Framed Display with dedicated anti-adware software is the action most often encouraged by malware analysts.
A Social Display for Your New Advertisements
Yontoo Adware is a large family of browser add-ons that deliver advertisements, with or without any additional features that may or may not benefit your PC. Symptoms typical to this family include search engine hijacks that redirect you to unwanted search sites, changes to Facebook Web pages and additional in-browser advertisements that load via an additional graphics layer. This layer may imitate the format of a Facebook page or otherwise falsely imply that its advertisements deliver themselves through that site. Framed Display is one of the many adware products based on this standard template, and, like many of its relatives, may be installed automatically.
Framed Display includes a BHO component for Internet Explorer, as well as a separate component for Firefox. Some reports have indicated that Framed Display may be developing variants of itself for Chrome, although malware experts have yet to confirm this information. Linux and OS X-based Web browsers are incompatible with all known versions of Framed Display.
Framed Display was a recently-developed variant with digital signatures indicating its origin in 2014. However, malware experts found many, if not all anti-adware programs including various detection entries for Framed Display, along with separate components (such as its automatic update module). Most detections of Framed Display will identify Framed Display as either adware or as a Potentially Unwanted Program.
Pulling a Framed Display Off of Your Browser's Wall
Framed Display's bandwidth and system resource demands may harm your Web-browsing performance, and malware analysts find more security issues than advantages from Framed Display's unblockable advertisements. Yontoo Adware of any brand name ordinarily is a drawback to any browser that Framed Display affects, even if Framed Display installs itself with your full permission. More common installation methods than consensual ones include bundles with other applications and torrent-seeded archives, which Web install Framed Display automatically.
Framed Display may include a standardized entry for the Windows Control Panel – but Framed Display may block all uninstall attempts made through that utility. Many anti-adware and some anti-malware products have reasonable records for detecting and deleting Framed Display. Recently-identified PUPs like Framed Display also should be removed only after you've installed updates to your security software, which can enable a complete and accurate detection of all of its files.
