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.

Myluckysites.com is a low-quality search engine that may appear in your Web browser suddenly, although you never intended to visit it. This may happen with the help of a browser hijacker, a small piece of software that, once launched, modifies a Web browser's settings automatically so that they are set to certain values. In this scenario, the Myluckyistes.com browser hijacker is programmed to set the 'Myluckysites.com' as the default start page of the Web browser, or as the default new tab page. These actions aren't harmful, but they may impair the user's ability to navigate the Web by forcing them to use a particular search engine that may not always work as expected.
Unlike many search engines that take advantage of the services of browser hijackers, Myluckysites.com at least relies on a reliable search algorithm by redirecting all search queries through Google. This way, it at least provides users with reputable search results, but there's no guarantee that the search feature seen on Myluckysites.com will not be changed in the future. This is why we advise users to stay away from unreputable search engines like this one since they can change the way they operate at any time.
The Myluckysites.com browser hijacker may often be found in low-quality software bundles, or it also may accompany unreliable browser extensions, which claim to improve the user's browsing experience and bring other useful features. Installing any of these extensions also may require the user's authorization to have their Web browser's settings changed so that they'll be redirected to Myluckysites.com whenever they perform certain actions. If the Myluckysites.com page appeared in your Web browser without your knowledge, then it is advised to check whether you have any unknown extensions installed and remove the ones you don't remember installing. Also, it wouldn't hurt to run an anti-malware scanner as an extra security measure that you can use to deal with browser hijackers.
