Posted: May 4, 2015
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.

46.161.41.220 is an IP address that may be associated with remote attacks against infected PCs. These attacks could transfer gathered information out of your computer, install new threats or allow third parties to control the system. If you are receiving multiple alerts regarding contact with 46.161.41.220, malware researchers advise assuming that your PC is compromised. Appropriate anti-malware solutions should be implemented as soon as possible to prevent any contact with 46.161.41.220 from allowing further damage to occur.
The Address Your Browser Keeps Revisiting
IP addresses are universal labels for Internet-capable devices and are no more inherently harmful than brand names or website URLs. Nonetheless, malware researchers sometimes find specific addresses being repeatedly used for illicit activities, including, in particular, threat-related network communications. 46.161.41.220 is one IP address to be reused routinely for such purposes, with most confirmed incidents taking place in mid-2014.
PC users with unprotected systems are not necessarily able to see any symptoms of a successful attack communicating through 46.161.41.220. However, for PC users with appropriate network security, symptoms can be identified as pop-up alerts warning of unauthorized contact with compromised websites. Other issues that may arise from 46.161.41.220-based attacks include:
- Your PC may have reduced performance, including system slowdowns, unexplained spikes in resource usage or arbitrary crashes.
- You may identify new, randomly named files maintained in memory (viewable through Task Manager and similar memory monitoring utilities).
- An installed Web browser, such as Internet Explorer, may be maintaining itself continuously in memory, even if there aren't visible browser windows.
These symptoms are typical, but not necessarily mandatory side effects of the installation of threats with backdoor-based features. Malware researchers have seen them used to install threatening software, reconfigure your system settings and transfer collected passwords (and other information) from an infected PC to a remote server. Currently, 46.161.41.220 is strongly linked to 'zombie' botnets, which specialize in controlling infected PCs en masse for harmful acts that may range from mining Bitcoins to launching DDoS attacks.
Wiping 46.161.41.220 out of Your Address Book
Although most 46.161.41.220 incidents are a year old, malware researchers continue to see 46.161.41.220 being exploited for illicit activities even into 2015. Domains that associate themselves with 46.161.41.220, such as sheepdog-shop.com, should be avoided as direct threats to your PC. Even accidental contact with 46.161.41.220 or a site related to 46.161.41.220 may force your browser to load scripts that could launch attacks or cause other forms of damage.
Normally, avoiding sites known for having relationships with 46.161.41.220 should be sufficient to protect a canny Web surfer. However, the 46.161.41.220 campaigns also show the necessity of having passive network security. PC users who expose their PCs to threats, and allow it to initiate network traffic with 46.161.41.220, are unlikely to see any symptoms, without security products to detect and block 46.161.41.220's websites.
