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:	2/10
Infected PCs:	26

Win 7 Security Plus 2013 is a fake anti-malware application that detects fake attacks and malware infections as part of its sales pitch to make victims buy its registration key. However, any money that's invested in Win 7 Security Plus 2013 funds future malware development while not giving your PC any meaningful security or anti-malware advantages. Since SpywareRemove.com malware experts also have identified Win 7 Security Plus 2013 as a member of a family that engages in browser-based attacks and program-blocking behavior, you should consider any PC with a Win 7 Security Plus 2013 infection to be in a heightened state of risk for other attacks. Removing Win 7 Security Plus 2013 should be done without purchasing Win 7 Security Plus 2013 and, hopefully, by using an actual anti-malware program that can provide the security features that Win 7 Security Plus 2013 so clearly lacks.

The Many Negatives to Win 7 Security Plus 2013's Security Additions

Win 7 Security Plus 2013 is presented as a program that could enhance your PC's ability to find and uproot malicious software, but Win 7 Security Plus 2013 actually doesn't have any of the features that would be required to detect or delete malware of any type. However, SpywareRemove.com malware analysts have noted that Win 7 Security Plus 2013 does contain a fairly broad arsenal of fake security features, including:

System scans that display fake infections.
