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.

If you come across the SuperEx Ads whenever you launch your Web browser, then it is very likely that the reason for this is not the websites that you are browsing. Instead, the source of the problem is a piece of software that you might have installed on your computer recently. The application in question is called 'SuperEx,' and it is supposed to provide users with a broad range of special offers, coupons, discounts, and other promotions that they might be interested in. The SuperEx software may often be offered by software bundles or download managers that ask users if they want to install 3rd-party utilities that are supposed to enhance their Web browsing experience. Often, applications like SuperEx may be promoted falsely, and users might be left with the impression that the offer they see is, in fact, for a useful piece of software. Sadly, this is not the case with SuperEx, and this application is classified as adware by multiple major anti-virus product vendors.
The good news is that although the SuperEx Ads may be rather annoying, they don't appear to be associated with the distribution of harmful software. However, this does not mean that the content of these advertisements should be safe since they might often promote low-quality online stores and shopping portals that are not reputable, and should not be trusted with your money and payment details.
Getting rid of the SuperEx Ads is strongly recommended since their presence in your Web browser might have an adverse impact on your Web browsing experience. Apart from increasing the load times of the pages you browse slightly, the SuperEx Ads also may end up covering sections of the page you are browsing, therefore preventing you from using certain buttons or from viewing some of the page's content. There are two ways to deal with the SuperEx Ads – either manually uninstall the 'SuperEx' extension, or using a credible anti-virus product to take care of the job for you.
