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.

ProductivityBoss Toolbar is software released by Mindspark Interactive Network. Productivity Boss Toolbar is promoted to be a useful browser plugin that enables users to make calculations from their desktop, money management, monthly calendars, converters, pay bills, etc. However, computer security experts do not advise users to download and install the Productivity Boss Toolbar since it doesn't offer any valuable features, and its installation may often lead to unwanted modifications to your web browser's configuration. For example, ProductivityBoss Toolbar is known to change the new tab, homepage and start page to the MyWay.com search engine, a search provider that is popularized by many of Mindspark Interactive Network's software solutions. Its removal may be carried out manually, by uninstalling Mindspark's browser extension, but it is also possible to take care of this task with the assistance of a potent anti-malware utility. While PUPs like ProductivityBoss Toolbar aren't dangerous, they may cause mild inconveniences for some computer users.
