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.

GoaSave is an adware application whose name suggests that it'll offer people the chance to save money by shopping online. This is one of the most common strategies adware publishers may use to get people to trust them and install their product. GoaSave may offer this feature by providing the user with price comparisons, coupons, special offers, and information about the discounts going on on some popular online shops currently. However, unfortunately, this is not GoaSave's true purpose, and users who install this application are unlikely to end up saving money when they go online shopping.
The installation of GoaSave is undesired because adware like this one is not only useless but also may ruin the user's Web browsing experience by filling their active Web browser windows with numerous advertisements whose credibility is, to say the least, questionable. The ads that GoaSave displays may often use additional bandwidth, cause performance issues on some pages, and even prevent users from accessing some of the content and menus on the page they are browsing currently. The advertising techniques that the GoaSave adware may use include but are not limited to – full page ads, banners, in-text ads and fake buttons.
Adware often relies on deceptive tricks and messages to gain the users' authorization to drop its files on their computers. The situation with GoaSave is likely to be the same, and some users might see the 'GoaSave Ads' in their Web browser even if they don't remember seeing this program ever before. Regardless if you remember installing GoaSave or not, we assure you that erasing this program is in your best interest. This is a task that can be completed via your Web browser's extension manager manually, or by using a trustworthy anti-malware scanner.
