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.

PageRage is an adware application, which is called by Internet users as a Facebook virus. In actuality, PageRage is a program that allows PC user to change or re-create profile pages through browser plug-ins. Manual intervention of a computer user is required to have a user account and download the application. The computer users's permission is sought before PageRage can be loaded. After the computer users signs-up for a PageRage account, it urges him/her to download a plug-in that gives an option to apply a Facebook theme for an account. PageRage needs a single click of a button to do this. PageRage is similar to other programs like Sanity Switch, Boost, FaceTheme, and Facebok Styler. Even if PageRage modifies your profile theme, the application does not make real changes to your Facebook account. PageRage is used within your web browser, so using another web browser to view your profile displays the old and unmodified Facebook profile.
