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.

UPCleaner by Brotsoft Technology is a fake system optimization utility that the experts suggest you avoid. UPCleaner is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) for two reasons. First, UPCleaner may not be able to improve the performance of your system. Second, UPCleaner may fill your Web clients with many suspicious commercial materials, which may cause an array of problems. The developer of UPCleaner may rely on the misleading bundling method for its distribution. You may install the PUP when you load freeware bundles unwittingly. You should never trust questionable platforms like the torrent trackers to prevent giving access to such dubious applications. You should invest some time, and conduct the setup process via the 'Advanced' menu. It may let you uncheck unwanted components of the bundle manually. Soon after its installation, UPCleaner may start showing you fabricated scan results. You will certainly notice frightening notifications about the security state of your PC. According to this PUP, your system may be in a terrible condition due to hundreds of Registry errors and junk files. You should not let this information disturb you because it is a lie. The purpose of this tactic is to make you click on the 'Fix Now' button. The official product page of UPCleaner claims that it is freeware, but this statement also doesn't correspond to the truth. Only the trial version is free of charge. If you attempt to fix the issues, which may not even exist in reality, you will be transferred to an online purchase page. You should not buy the full version of UPCleaner as it may be equally unreliable. During its presence in your system, this PUP also may generate intrusive pop-ups, banners, interstitial ads and other commercial materials. Some of them may try to manipulate you into downloading additional dubious applications. You should delete UPCleaner with a dedicated security solution to fix your Web clients and stop the bogus scan processes.
