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.

Nowadays, almost every site relies on web advertisements to get some income. It is easy to get irritated by some of them because the web administrators sometimes overuse the commercial materials. If you decide to block them, you should know the application named AdBlockerr cannot help you at all. Quite ironically, it works as adware. It indeed prevents the web-based ads from loading, but there is a little catch. In their place, AdBlockerr places its own pop-ups and banners, which lead to particularly chosen third-party websites.
The newly generated ads tend to be far more aggressive than what you are used to seeing. AdBlockerr attaches its coupons and discounts on the majority of sites you open, which may get extremely annoying in no time. What is more, it doesn't matter at all if you use Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer. This adware hooks towards all of them as an add-on, so you will notice the same modifications regardless of which web client you launch. You should not be too surprised if the browsers start working slower than usual after the installation of AdBlockerr.
This adware burdens the PC because it uses some of the resources for its own processes. The security experts highlight that the new banners, animations and videos may be unsafe. It all depends on where they will take you – if the sponsored sites host dangerous content, you may get infected. Some of the clients of AdBlockerr haven't downloaded it intentionally. This tool is often a part of a software bundle, so you may load it unwillingly if you skip the details. As with any adware, the advice of the specialists is to remove it with a professional security application.
