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.

Joygame is a reliable Turkish website that allows its visitors to access and play a broad range of online games. The games hosted there are divided into several categories, and all of them are free to play without any complications. However, the Joygame website is associated with the Joygame Homepage, a dubious Web browser extension for Google Chrome. This Web browser extension is officially published by Joygame, and its primary purpose is to allow users to access the Joygame website and the games hosted there quickly. However, to do this, the Joygame Homepage extension may change the Chrome's default homepage and search engine service provider to Search.joygame.com. This search engine is directly associated with Joygame.com, and although it is reliable, most users may not appreciate the fact that it replaced their favorite search engine and homepage.
The Joygame Homepage browser extension may be installed without the user's knowledge via unfair techniques, so users may experience this unwanted change even if they don't recall agreeing to it. Using the Search.joygame.com website will not lead to any bad consequences, but there's no valid reason for you to use Search.joygame.com considering the way it was introduced to you. Unfortunately, the removal of the Joygame Homepage extension may not be enough to revert the changes it made to your Web browser's configuration. We advise users who are troubled by this browser hijacker to run a reputable anti-malware scanner and erase all files and registry entries associated with Joygame Homepage. Afterward, they should restore their favorite homepage and search engine as default pages for Google Chrome manually.
