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.

Internet Quick Access is advertised as a faster and better alternative to popular Internet browsers, and it is based on the open-source Chromium project. However, Internet Quick Access is referred as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) for several reasons. One of the selling features of Internet Quick Access promises to "add quick links to key user functions", but users may find that the custom browser does more than that. In an attempt to hoist Web traffic, Internet Quick Access may also include sponsored links, among the genuine ones, which belong to its advertisement partners. Furthermore, users that use Internet Quick Access may find themselves receiving an unusual amount of advertisements that may diminish browser performance and interrupt their browsing sessions. Although, most of the time, the additional ad content isn't going to have disastrous effects, you may sometimes be offered to install useless software or get redirected to compromised websites.
