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.

GrouperConcept is one of those tools, which are not appreciated by the majority of PC users. Of course, there are good reasons for the negative feedback. First of all, this software often comes against the will of the clients. It is inserted in the installation files of other freeware as a bundle. Once it gets access to the system, GrouperConcept hooks to all detected Internet clients as a browser add-on. This process allows the questionable program to change the necessary settings in order to perform its main function – which is to promote third-party sites. This activity is the reason why the security experts classify GrouperConcept as adware. Striving to make you visit the sponsored pages, GrouperConcept may insert a vast amount of ads. These commercial materials take different shapes, but the most obvious ones are the pop-ups, banners, interstitial ads and targeted videos. The adware may also attempt to redirect you by placing sponsored links among the search results. Besides being annoying, these ads may directly harm the functionality of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. The most severe risk of GrouperConcept is that it may transfer you to some unsafe pages, which may try to scam you or offer you harmful content. You should consider deleting this adware tool as its presence may disrupt your on-line experience.
