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.

Search.easyvideoconverteraccess.com is a low-quality search engine linked to the Easy Video Converter Access Web browser extension. The latter is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by multiple anti-malware vendors, and this doesn't come as a surprise considering the dubious tricks that the Easy Video Converter Access may use to convince people to install it, as well as to authorize it to change their Web browser's default new tab page to Search.easyvideoconverteraccess.com. The good news is that despite being described as a PUP by security analysts, and having a tendency to display behavior typical for browser hijackers, the Easy Video Converter Access is not a threatening utility, and having it on your computer is not a reason to be worried about your online safety.
However, the installation of the Easy Video Converter Access may ask users to change their default new tab page to Search.easyvideoconverteraccess.com. While using this website is not an unsafe thing to do, since it simply provides search results via the Yahoo search engine, users might be irritated by seeing the ads and quick links that Search.easyvideoconverteraccess.com is meant to promote. Whenever this page is opened, users may be bombarded with quick links to popular Web destinations, as well as links to the download sections of other Potentially Unwanted Programs similar to the Easy Video Converter Access.
Although the Easy Video Converter Access is certainly not a piece of software to be afraid of, its installation may not always be a good idea since it tends to introduce unwanted changes to the user's Web browser. If you are redirected to Search.easyvideoconverteraccess.com whenever you open a new tab page, and you don't find yourself using the Easy Video Converter Access toolbar on a regular basis, you should take the necessary measures to uninstall the Potentially Unwanted Program. Manual uninstallation should remove all of the Easy Video Converter Access files, but running an anti-malware scanner is also recommended since this is an additional way to ensure that Search.easyvideoconverteraccess.com will not appear in your Web browser again.
