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.

The Email Access Online is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by EIGHTPOINT TECHNOLOGIES Ltd. This software publisher is often linked to Potentially Unwanted Programs whose installation may do some unexpected changes to the system Web browser's settings, such as replacing the default new tab page with a website affiliated with the EIGHTPOINT TECHNOLOGIES' product. The case with the Email Access Online is practically the same, and users who install this software might be surprised to find out that their default New Tab page is now hxxp://search.emailaccessonline.com/. This page hosts a search engine powered by Yahoo, as well as quick links to some popular online Web destinations and helpful utilities. It also boasts a weather widget, and quick links to some of the most popular online email services – Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, Bing, etc. Basically, this collection of quick links is exactly what the Email Access Online offers – quick and easy access to the user's email inbox.
One-click access to your inbox may sound like a good offer, but you should ask yourself whether it is worth it to get this in exchange for an unknown new tab page that forces you to use a search engine that you may not be used to. Furthermore, since the Email Access Online is not associated with a reputable software publisher and the website linked to it isn't either, then there's no way to guarantee that the safe state of the hxxp://search.emailaccessonline.com/ page will not be changed in the future. We advise our readers to stay away from Potentially Unwanted Programs like the Email Access Online, especially if they want to modify their Web browser's settings and promote a 3rd-party search engine.
Users who are unhappy with the Email Access Online's features and the changes it has brought to their Web browser can take care of the problem in a fairly simple way. They can either uninstall the Email Access Online from their web browser's extension manager manually or use a suitable security tool that specializes in dealing with PUPs.
