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.

TikiArcade is the name of a gaming platform that can be found at tikiarcade.com. It offers its visitors the chance to play some intriguing online games. Most of the games are free and safe, but some of the "premium" ones may require the user to install particular software. The offered program works as adware. It creates online advertisements in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. You can easily tell apart the newly created commercial materials from the normal page-based ads because they are labeled as "Generated by TikiArcade" or "Powered by TikiArcade". You should know that this adware also may enter even if you haven't agreed to install it intentionally from tikiarcade.com. This application also may count on the "bundling" method, which means that another free program may encourage you to install it. If you have selected the "Quick" menu instead of the recommended "Advanced" one, you may give your permission without being aware. Some users report that the ads by TikiArcade tend to be very distracting. It couldn't be otherwise because these pop-ups, banners and interstitial ads may appear consistently throughout your surfing sessions, no matter which site you open. The ads may cover a significant part of the screen, including some page buttons. Their presence may lead to speed drops and other minor performance issues because the adware uses some of your system's resources. Some people may not expect it, but these ads are not safe to follow. They may encourage you to take part in online surveys, which may try to obtain some personal data like your phone number or email address. The sponsored links may also take you to some sites with unverified legitimacy. If these ads bother you, you should scan your PC with a reputable malware removal program to delete TikiArcade.
