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.

InboxAce is a browser hijacker, which is pushed via other free program downloads (video recording/streaming, download-managers or PDF creators) that had packaged into their installation InboxAce. When once installed on a targeted PC, InboxAce will set the InboxAce Toolbar, and substitute the default homepage and default search engine to Mywebsearch.com. InboxAce will display irritating pop-up advertisements and sponsored links in search results of any legitimate search engine, and may gather search terms from a victim's search queries. The InboxAce Toolbar is used by scammers to boost website traffic by using blackhat SEO and benefit form click fraud. InboxAce is also considered to be a PUP (potentially unwanted program). InboxAce is also packed within the custom installer on many download websites, such as CNET, Brothersoft or Softonic, so if the PC user has downloaded a software product from these websites, InboxAce might have been installed during the software setup process.
