Threat Metric

The Threat Meter is a malware assessment that SpywareRemove.com's research team is able to give every identifiable malware threat. Our Threat Meter includes several criteria based off of specific malware threats to value their severity, reach and volume. The Threat Meter is able to give you a numerical breakdown of each threat's initial Threat Level, Detection Count, Volume Count, Trend Path and Percentage Impact. The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.

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.

Threat Level:	9/10
Infected PCs:	26

Trojan horse Generic36.FGM is a general warning for files that exhibit threat-like behavior. Because Trojan horse Generic36.FGM also may occur in a 'false positive' format, malware researchers recommend isolating, but refraining from deleting Trojan horse Generic36.FGM files until you can confirm their true nature. Confirmations by other anti-malware products can be used to determine whether or not Trojan horse Generic36.FGM is threatening for your computer, and inaccurate warnings for Trojan horse Generic36.FGM infections are ignorable with no drawbacks for your PC's safety.

Behavioral or heuristic detections are an invaluable part of any anti-malware suite toolkit, and allow your security programs to identify threats according to their consequences and structure, even when a specific identity has yet to be determined. Most often applicable to new PC threats without their own database entries, heuristic detections like Trojan horse Generic36.FGM and Trojan Horse Generic17.AMPT may be signs of your PC being compromised by high-level threats. In these circumstances, malware researchers consider the proper use of good anti-malware tools to be necessary for deleting Trojan horse Generic36.FGM and all related threats, with Trojan horse Generic36.FGM most likely only being one of multiple threats on your hard drive.

However, there also is a harmless side to Trojan horse Generic36.FGM, which sometimes is identified inaccurately. Malware experts particularly associate false positives of Trojan horse Generic36.FGM with components of the Windows Task Scheduler and software-updating utilities. Because these programs may launch repeatedly, you may see warnings for Trojan horse Generic36.FGM infections appear once or more daily. These false positives usually are reported by a limited subset of anti-malware tools, while, by contrast, many, different brands of security software may identify a real Trojan horse Generic36.FGM infection or related threats.

What to do with a Trojan that Might be Harmless After All

Trojan software gets its name from the soldier-filled wooden horse of Greek myth, but, unlike the origin mythology, some versions of Trojan horse Generic36.FGM detections do not have hidden ambush hostile entities. You can use reliable brands of anti-malware programs to determine a fake from a real Trojan horse Generic36.FGM, and, when doubtful, consider quarantining potentially threatening files without deleting them permanently. When a Trojan horse Generic36.FGM warning implicates parts of the Task Scheduler or other, confirmed-to-be-safe Windows components, malware researchers recommend that you set Trojan horse Generic36.FGM as an ignorable exception, and send a report to the company responsible for the inaccurate alert.

However, it is not always safe to ignore Trojan horse Generic36.FGM, which, when threatening, often has few or no symptoms to accompany the attacks Trojan horse Generic36.FGM may make against your PC. As a heuristic detection, Trojan horse Generic36.FGM may include different types of attacks, but, when accurate, always is a threat to your computer's safety.
