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 Traffic Exchange is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) whose installation might cause undesired side effects to your computer's behavior. The original purpose of the application appears to be to help small-time webmasters to exchange traffic by submitting their website & contact information and then running the Traffic Exchange, which will generate traffic for other registered parties automatically. While this might look like an easy way to boost a page's traffic artificially, you should know that the Traffic Exchange's Privacy Policy includes some concerning details. The publishers of the Traffic Exchange state that they may provide the e-mail address used for registration to 3rd-parties and, in addition to this, they might collect additional browsing information, which might be used for marketing purposes.
We advise against using software that does not respect your privacy, especially when it has nothing of value to offer in return. The Traffic Exchange PUP should be removed as soon as you see it on your computer. This task can be completed either manually or with the help of a trustworthy anti-malware software suite.
