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.

Ytubeadsremover is one of a wave of browser add-ons that claim to have the ability to block YouTube advertisements – while their real features are only to load advertisements in other websites. Removing Ytubeadsremover and any other adware from your computer is an integral facet of blocking unwanted content that could endanger your PC, particularly since malware researchers see zero benefits to letting Ytubeadsremover remain installed. Ytubeadsremover has an extended history of refusing to remove all the settings changes that allow its advertisements to load even when the extension is uninstalled, and you shouldn't feel any shame in using appropriate anti-adware and anti-malware products to their fullest extent.
The 'Advertisement Remover' that Does the Opposite of What It Says
Ytubeadsremover is estimated to be a clone of other, identical adware programs, such as TubeItAdBlockApp and BlockUTubeAde. These programs, universally designed and distributed by fraudulent companies that eschew providing any contact information along with refusing to partake in other, standard business practices, seem to be specific to the Chrome Web browser. However, malware researchers have seen some divergent branches affecting Firefox, though this isn't the case with Ytubeadsremover.
Even though its name would seem to imply that Ytubeadsremover can disable advertisements loaded through Youtube videos, Ytubeadsremover has shown no such features. Its real function is to load advertisements through text content, a process also known as inline advertising or inline text advertising. Ytubeadsremover's advertisement links are injected into a Web page as Chrome loads it, which allows Ytubeadsremover to display advertisements unrelated with the affected site. The resulting underlined words are a clear symptom of Ytubeadsremover's presence, but removing Ytubeadsremover doesn't necessarily remove the settings changes that cause these effects.
How to Remove Ytubeadsremover and the Advertisements It Brought with It
Even though malware researchers haven't confirmed any threatening or illicit use on the part of Ytubeadsremover's advertisements, they have seen similar consequences from related adware add-ons. This is one of several reasons why deleting Ytubeadsremover is highly suggested for your Web-browsing safety. Another, relevant factor is Ytubeadsremover's distribution model, which uses non-consensual methods, such as hidden software bundles, to install itself automatically. Even though this is a frequent pattern for many kinds of adware, including Ytubeadsremover's relatives, Ytubeadsremover continues to be a disingenuous one that, commonly, is an indication that the software in question is non-useful or even threatening.
To remove Ytubeadsremover and the modifications responsible for its advertisements, you always should use full anti-adware and anti-malware products to scan your entire PC, rather than attempting to remove your Web browser or modify its settings alone. Some additional, minor steps, such as booting into Safe Mode, keeping your browser closed and using updated databases for your software will help guarantee success insofar as this is possible. However, even so, malware researchers find it best to avoid Ytubeadsremover and other potentially risky adware by keeping your file-downloading habits as safe and stringent as is practical.
