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.

JobSpun is an application that should, in theory, make it easy for you to find a suitable job. The developers of this program assure that they will show you thousands of offers to help you start your career. Unfortunately, JobSpun cannot achieve what it promises. JobSpun is a typical adware that may try to take advantage of your online clicks. This questionable extension may set its own commercial materials in the place of traditional page-based ads. The new marketing elements may consist mainly of pop-ups, banners and in-text ads. As you navigate the Web, you also may face interstitial and transitional ads. You may find embedded videos on some pages. Since the JobSpun ads originate from an extension, you may find them even on pages that previously contained no ads. If you click on the coupons or special offers, you will reach third-party partner pages. Some of them may be shopping platforms, but others may be created for the sole purpose of infecting or tricking the visitors. There is no way to determine which ads are safe to follow and which may expose you to dangers, so it is recommended to avoid all of them. Unfortunately, staying away from the sponsored materials may be easier said than done. They may be placed in a clever way so you may click on it accidentally. The majority of PC users feel disturbed by the JobSpun ads because of their intrusiveness. Some of the commercial materials may contain eye-catching or blinking elements, which may distract you. Moreover, their loading may cause glitches, freezes or crashes. Not all people who notice the ads with the slogan 'Brought by JobSpun' may have downloaded the adware intentionally. The suspicious extension may enter stealthily in a combination with other software. Since the plugin may affect Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer simultaneously, you cannot switch to another Web client to stop seeing the annoying ads. To fix your browser, you should perform a diagnostic test with powerful security software.
