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.

1click downloader is a utility program that its creator claim to enable easy file-downloading activities with, as the product's name implies, a single click. While 1click downloader may be able to perform its marketed job to some extent, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have also noted signs that 1click downloader may not be as benevolent as 1click downloader pretends to be, such as unauthorized downloading activities that can interfere with normal computer usage, as well as attempts to resist its deletion (traits that are typical of adware and similar types of low-level malicious software). Alongside this poor reports of its functionality, 1click downloader is also promoted by a site with a suspicious history on the web, and while 1click downloader may not be as harmful as a virus or Trojan, you should exercise a high level of caution when interacting with 1click downloader or its website. If necessary, suitable anti-malware scanners can delete 1click downloader just like any other low-level PC threat, whereas normal removal methods (such as Control Panel) typically will fail.
1click downloader – Just One Click for a Downloading Nuisance
1click downloader claims to be an enabler of downloading activities, but many victims of 'accidental' installations claim that 1click downloader actually interfered with their downloads by attempting to download files without permission – sometimes repeatedly. Low-level PC threats like 1click downloader are often distributed as part of bundled packages with other products, and SpywareRemove.com malware researchers rate this possibility as a particularly probable distribution strategy for 1click downloader, since many of its users have reported being unable to remember where they acquired 1click downloader in the first place. Accordingly, paying attention to text included in the full installation process for any program is useful for avoiding unwanted 'helpers' like 1click downloader, semi-malicious search toolbars and adware.
1click downloader has also been observed to utilize P2P downloading networks and may be distributed via them as well as using them for some of its downloads. Although there aren't guaranteed to be signs of a 1click downloader installation package on any individual peer-to-peer downloaded file, illegal software products (such as key generators) and mislabeled files for popular media are particularly prone to being compromised by various PC threats. You might also acquire 1click downloader deliberately from its website, 1clickdownloader.com or a general software database site. While SpywareRemove.com malware researchers haven't found indications that 1click downloader's website is directly hostile, its questionable history still makes 1click downloader a potential (albeit minor) risk to your PC.
Clicking Yourself Away from a 1click Downloader Dilemma
1click downloader's website has a history of enacting bribes for some positive review ratings on PC security websites, and this site has also been blocked by some PC security companies for its questionable practices and software. In light of this, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers suggest avoiding unnecessary contact with 1click downloader's company if you find your computer troubled by 1click downloader since the probability of its employees being useful is fairly low. If your PC does wind up with 1click downloader on it, chances are good that you'll need a little help, since 1click downloader does its best to resist all normal removal and deletion methods that would safely get rid of any benign type of software.
To ensure that all of 1click downloader's components are removed without causing harm to your OS, SpywareRemove.com malware analysts suggest scanning your computer entirely with high-quality anti-malware products. Safe Mode (which is available on all Windows computers) is the recommended environment for removing 1click downloader since it will minimize the possibility of 1click downloader or other PC threats interfering with the task.
, I was wondering, if an anriuitvs product should release an entirely new version such as if mine is v. 9, then the program releases v. 10, can the current version of this program update that as well or do I have to get a newer version of this SS Dowloaded too???
