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.

MyTransitMapper is a Mindspark Interactive Network product whose installation may seem like a reasonable offer since it claims to provide users with up-to-date information regarding bus and train schedules, therefore giving users the opportunity to plan their trips, commutes, or other events where they may need transportation to. In addition to the transport information, MyTransitMapper also gives users Transit maps, and the ability to map & plan routes. Overall, MyTransitMapper seems like a helpful extension, and it does, indeed, provide users with the features it claims to have. However, users should keep in mind that by installing MyTransitMapper, they'll need to agree to have their default new tab page modified to a website affiliated to MyTransitMapper.
The new tab page that MyTransitMapper promotes is not an unreliable one and, in fact, using it on a daily basis will not cause any problems. The website linked to MyTransitMapper is part of the MyWay.com group of search engines, and it is intended to provide search results via the Yahoo Search's algorithm. In addition to the search field, the MyWay.com search page also may host some of the MyTransitMapper's features that provide users with quick links to online maps, routing services, and other features that the MyTransitMapper extension is meant to promote.
Users who are not happy with the changes introduced by MyTransitMapper may wish to remove this application from their computers. Since MyTransitMapper is not a harmful app, it can be removed by uninstalling it from the Windows Control Panel manually. However, keep in mind that some anti-virus vendors mark MyTransitMapper and other Mindspark products as Potentially Unwanted Programs, and this means that suitable computer security software could be used to wipe MyTransitMapper from your computer.
