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.searchleasier.com is a search engine linked to the 'Login Easier' browser extension, a piece of software that may be compatible with Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome. The purpose of the extension is to provide users with one-click access to all their e-mail inboxes, therefore saving them a few seconds every time they opt to check their e-mail. However, users who want to install this extension should be prepared for the extra change that its installation may bring – Search.searchleasier.com may be set as the default new tab page for the Web browsers installed on the user's computer.
The good news is that this change isn't harmful at all, but you should keep in mind that it might worsen your Web browsing experience by forcing you to use a search engine that also may promote 3rd-party websites, other browser extensions, and Potentially Unwanted Programs PUPs) whose reputation is questionable. At least the search field seen on Search.searchleasier.com does not run search queries through a custom search algorithm and, instead, relies on the Yahoo search engine to display the final results. This might not be a big issue for users who favor Yahoo.com as their primary search aggregator, but if you are a fan of Bing or Google, then you might find this change annoying.
The appearance of Search.searchleasier.com page in your Web browser might not always happen when you opt to install 'Login Easier' or a similar browser extension that wants to change the Web browser's configuration knowingly. Often, low-quality browser extensions may be found in software bundles that utilize misleading installation instructions or other confusing tricks whose purpose is to trick the user into installing unnecessary software. If you think that the Search.searchleasier.com page appeared in your Web browser by mistake, or if you wish to get rid of it once and for all, then we advise you to check the list of installed browser extensions. All unknown or suspicious entries should be researched and removed if you don't think they are important. An easier and less time-consuming way to accomplish this is to run an anti-malware program and let it deal with the intruders that have modified your Web browser's configuration.
