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.

MyAppsCloud by IronSource Ltd is an application that promises to save the efforts of its clients when some of the installed programs need to be updated. Although certain update notifiers may indeed be very useful, the security experts don't recommend relying on MyAppsCloud for the task. This tool behaves in a way that leaves the majority of people dissatisfied, and, therefore, the application is marked as Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). In an Internet survey, over 80% of the respondents voted that they don't want to keep MyAppsCloud on their personal computers. The reason for this negative feedback is related to the commercial materials that follow the installation of the questionable application. The PUP inserts various pop-ups, banners and automatically started videos to all available browsers, including the famous Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. The problem is that these ads are not like the usual ads that you see on some web pages. The commercial elements by MyAppsCloud are far more aggressive – they may appear on every site you load. The fact that they may seize a big part of the screen and cover essential page buttons is the least of your concerns. The loading of these pop-ups and banners may consume some of the available random-access memory (RAM), which may hamper the functionality of the browsers. The greatest risk of these ads is that they may expose you to cyber threats in case some of the affiliate pages are unsafe. The newly generated ads cannot be blocked until the PUP is on your PC, so you should consider deleting it with suitable security software.
