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.

Hohosearch.com is a misleading search platform that you should not trust because Hohosearch.com may show manipulated results. Hohosearch.com is closely related to a browser hijacker that may take control of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Hohosearch.com may make Hohosearch.com your homepage automatically. The harmful extension relies solely on drive-by downloads to enter. The people behind the hijacker may promote it in a deceptive way. For example, they may assure Hohosearch.com will improve your searching experience or help you with online purchases. In this case, you may authorize its installation without knowing its true purpose. On the other hand, the browser hijacker may enter in complete silence hidden in a software bundle. When it comes to this method, the users may have no idea they are about to load additional components besides the main program. Hohosearch.com may cause annoying automatic redirections to hohosearch.com or other equally questionable sites. You also may notice the unreliable search platform whenever you open new tabs. There are a few very good reasons not to use it. Hohosearch.com may show many sponsored links that lead to partner sites, which is a hidden way of advertising. The results on the first page may consist almost exclusively of such ads. Most of these ads may not be labeled adequately, so you may not suspect they are not the best-matching results to your query. The first problem of this activity is that you may start visiting irrelevant pages that don't offer what you need. However, an even more disturbing scenario is that some links may take you to corrupted sites that may attempt to infect or trick you. You should delete the browser hijacker immediately with a leading malware removal application to stop the redirections to Hohosearch.com.
