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.

VuuPC is a potentially unwanted program that could cause several unwanted and annoying actions on your computer. The VuuPC application may load through previously installed freeware programs or bundled software applications. When it is loaded, VuuPC may then change your default home page or cause unwanted redirects to questionable sites. Additionally, VuuPC could be associated with various advertisement pop-ups that eventually cause your web browser to perform poorly limiting your ability to surf the internet. The effects of VuuPC may be reversed by removing the VuuPC program and all of its associated files. This includes the removal of plugins or add-on components that may have loaded when VuuPC was installed. Automatically performing removal of VuuPC may take the use of an updated antimalware tool.
