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.

NiceAndFun is an ad-supported browser plugin, which is responsible for the creation of many pop-ups, banners and interstitial ads. The functionality of this tool provides enough reasons to list it as the next adware. One of the few positive traits of NiceAndFun is that the users can easily detect its presence, which would allow them to act accordingly. All sponsored links, generated by this adware, are labeled as "Ads by NiceAndFun". If you notice these commercial materials, you may ask yourself how this questionable add-on entered. It is hard to find NiceAndFun on the web – it has no official page and doesn't use partner sites. Instead, the controversial application finds you. It usually comes bundled together with another cost-free program. The fact that some users don't pay attention to the details explains why they cannot recall installing NiceAndFun. The adware promises to keep you informed of the best deals at the moment, which should save you money. However, NiceAndFun redirects its clients to sites with questionable legitimacy, so buying anything from them isn't advisable. In some cases, the users may even be transferred to potentially harmful domains. As long as you don't click on the ads, your system should remain safe. However, the presence of the ads may worsen the performance of your browsers, and may even cause crashes. For this reason, you should consider removing the adware thoroughly with a reliable anti-malware program.
