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.

Savepath Deals is an adware program that inserts advertisements into your Web pages, supposedly to improve your shopping experience by offering discounts and deals. However, Savepath Deals's advertising content doesn't always appear to be sorted according to preferential price-checking methodology and occasionally includes irrelevant or even malicious advertisements (such as fake Windows Media Player updates). Although coming into contact with the Savepath Deals website or sites related to Savepath Deals is not very dangerous, you should remove Savepath Deals from your PC with reliable anti-malware software – as is always suggested for any kind of adware that doesn't truly benefit your Web browser.
Savepath Deals: Just Another Fraud with Scams for Deals
Barely better than a snake oil salesman for the Internet age, Savepath Deals is one of many adware programs to make claims for improving your ability to find good prices while shopping online, but Savepath Deals's actual functions make Savepath Deals indistinguishable from adware. Savepath Deals advertisements usually are displayed as script injections into the pages of sites like Amazon and Ebay, a function that usually circumvents any advertisement-blocking software while also hindering your browsing of these sites.
Although many of Savepath Deals's advertisements do appear to offer legitimate shopping-related deals, Savepath Deals displays advertisements from less-than-benign third parties, as well. Interacting with Savepath Deals's advertisement content is, therefore, discouraged as a potential security concern, and SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend keeping the affected browser closed until you've removed Savepath Deals.
The Safe Path Out of a Savepath Deals Infection
Savepath Deals is specific to Internet Explorer and can be avoided by using other browsers, but avoiding Savepath Deals's advertisements isn't an equally-safe substitute for removing Savepath Deals from your PC completely. Since Savepath Deals's included uninstaller may be non-functional and the program may be designed to resist being deleted, SpywareRemove.com malware analysts must recommend using anti-malware products to rid your browser of Savepath Deals and its browser advertisements. PC users who prefer other browsers also shouldn't become too complacent, since adware-based threats identical to Savepath Deals with different brand names have been seen on Chrome and Firefox on a regular basis.
Savepath Deals promotes itself as an independent shopping tool, but usually will be installed only with bundlers that insert Savepath Deals into the installation processes of completely unrelated applications. Above all else, keeping a safe distance from a malicious or disreputable download site is your most simple and foremost protection against a Savepath Deals infection, although almost any competent anti-malware utility worthy of the name also should be able to detect Savepath Deals on sight.
