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.

Palikan.com is a low-quality search engine that is associated with the promotion of a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) known as the Palikan Browser. The Palikan Browser may claim to be a great utility that can replace any modern Web browser, but we advise users to be careful if they plan to replace their current Web browser with the Palikan Browser. This change isn't recommended, because the Palikan Browser is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program by reputable anti-virus companies, and the installation of this PUP may worsen your Web browsing experience immediately. The Palikan Browser may prevent you from using your favorite search engine and homepage, because this browser will replace them with Palikan.com automatically, therefore forcing you to use an unpopular search engine whose reliability is questionable. The Palikan Browser may be distributed with the help of unfair marketing tricks such as software bundles that may use misleading installation instructions. These bundles may offer users to install 3rd-party applications like the Palikan Browser by promoting them as useful utilities that can enhance a user's Web browsing experience. Since the Palikan Browser isn't threatening, there's no harm in using it, but our recommendation is to remove the program if it was installed on your computer without your knowledge.
