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.

SearchFormsOnline is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that may be installed as a Web browser extension. At the time of writing this post, SearchFormsOnline may be compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge. Users who opt to install this software may be tempted to do so because it promises them quick and easy access to all sorts of online forms regarding healthcare, employment, government, the DMV, etc. Keep in mind that these forms are public, and anyone can find them by using search engines such as Google, but SearchFormsOnline promises to make this process easier and more efficient.
Users who opt to install the SearchFormsOnline will then see a new toolbar in their Web browser, as well as another change that they might not appreciate, because SearchFormsOnline may change their new tab page to a search engine hosted on a MyWay.com subdomain automatically. The MyWay.com search engines are closely related to Mindspark products such as SearchFormsOnline, and almost every Mindspark piece of software promotes a variation of the MyWay.com search engine. While this change is certainly not threatening, some users might not enjoy that a piece of software changed their default new tab page to an entirely new search engine.
The removal of SearchFormsOnline is not mandatory, but if any users wish to uninstall this application, they can do so by removing it either from the Windows Control Panel or their Web browser's settings. Since SearchFormsOnline is a PUP, its removal might also be carried out with the assistance of a suitable computer security utility.
