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.

Windows Essentials Pro 2013 is a fake anti-malware scanner that combines inaccurate system warnings with imitations of system scans to make you believe that Windows Essentials Pro 2013 is a genuine anti-malware product. Windows Essentials Pro 2013's attacks habitually portray any compromised PC as being threatened by large quantities of PC threats that Windows Essentials Pro 2013 claims can be removed once you purchase its registration key, which, SpywareRemove.com malware experts flatly warn, is a senseless waste of your money. Windows Essentials Pro 2013 also may be included in attack campaigns that use multiple types of PC threats together, particularly Trojans that include backdoor and/or downloader features, and only appropriate anti-malware products should be used to remove Windows Essentials Pro 2013 or any other malware that's associated with Windows Essentials Pro 2013.

Why the Only 'Essential' Step for Windows Essentials Pro 2013 is Protecting Your PC from It

Windows Essentials Pro 2013 is crafted to look very similar to authentic brands of anti-malware products, but where real anti-malware software can find and remove actual malware, Windows Essentials Pro 2013 only can detect fake infections and pretend to remove them. Although fake pop-up warnings and imitation scans are Windows Essentials Pro 2013's signature traits, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers warn that Windows Essentials Pro 2013's attacks also may include:

Launching itself automatically through various Registry exploits.
Blocking most optional Windows programs on your computer.
Hijacking your browser and blocking safe sites, an attack that Windows Essentials Pro 2013 may disguise by redirecting you to fake warning pages.

The FakeRean family of rogue anti-malware programs, of which Windows Essentials Pro 2013 is a part, is most often distributed by Trojan downloaders, Trojan droppers and exploit kits that are launched from hostile or compromised sites. Browser security features and updated software often can block many, but not necessarily all, attacks related to exploit kits, which often are configured to take advantage of vulnerabilities that are resolved by security patches.

In hindering your usage of your PC, Windows Essentials Pro 2013's goal is to force you to pay out for its registration – a sham that doesn't result in any type of real upgrade to Windows Essentials Pro 2013's fake anti-malware capabilities.
