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.

Windows No-Risk Center is a copy of similar anti-virus scanners from the same family (which may be labeled as Win32/FakeVimes or Rogue.VirusDoctor). Like other types of Windows-specific scamware, Windows No-Risk Center launches with Windows and uses that opportunity to display a series of fake warning messages with highly misleading contents. Windows No-Risk Center may also simulate scans of your PC, redirect your browser to its website or block your security programs. These risks lead SpywareRemove.com malware experts to label Windows No-Risk Center as a high-level threat to your computer that should be deleted by the most competent anti-malware program that you can access. While you may need to disable Windows No-Risk Center before you can use appropriate software to delete Windows No-Risk Center for good, this can be achieved by using standard and universally available anti-malware techniques along with your choice of scanner.
How Windows No-Risk Center Insures That There are No Risks... to Itself
\Windows No-Risk Center looks very similar to Microsoft's own Security Center, and, on a first look, appears to include system scanning features, phishing protection and other security functions of generic value. However, the real point of Windows No-Risk Center isn't to keep your PC safe – in fact, it's the opposite, since SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have confirmed Windows No-Risk Center's ability to block anti-malware and security programs at a whim. Similar security issues have also been noted with other members of the FakeVimes or Rogue.VirusDoctor family, such as Windows No-Risk Center, Privacy Guard Pro, PrivacyGuard Pro 2.0, Extra Antivirus, Fast Antivirus 2009, Presto TuneUp, Windows Security Suite, Smart Virus Eliminator, Packed.Generic.245, Volcano Security Suite, Windows Enterprise Suite, Enterprise Suite, Additional Guard, Live PC Care, PC Live Guard, Live Enterprise Suite, Security Antivirus, My Security Wall, CleanUp Antivirus and Smart Security.
Since Windows No-Risk Center will launch automatically while simultaneously preventing you from running software that could remove Windows No-Risk Center from your PC, SpywareRemove.com malware analysts note that you may need to circumvent this and disable Windows No-Risk Center before removal. Safe Mode can be considered the most readily available means of stopping Windows No-Risk Center's startup process, although other tactics, such as booting from a removable drive, are also available. Until you've confirmed that your security software has deleted Windows No-Risk Center, you should assume that Windows No-Risk Center is active and blocking your applications (potentially along with fake warnings about infections or system damage).
Unveiling the Unhappy Truth Behind Windows No-Risk Center's Security Promises
Windows No-Risk Center may keep up a perfect appearance of being a put-upon security program, but information that Windows No-Risk Center provides is always fraudulent.
