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.

Adware.Tuto4PC is an adware browser add-on marketed by tuto4pc.com, a tutorial website that has been categorized as threatening for its promotion of adware like Adware.Tuto4PC. Because Adware.Tuto4PC's antics may include browser hijacks, displaying advertisements without you asking for it, installing third party software and updating itself automatically, malware researchers consider Adware.Tuto4PC a bit more of a danger to your PC than the typical piece of adware. Deleting Adware.Tuto4PC with any trusted anti-malware program should be the instantaneous response to any Adware.Tuto4PC infection – since Adware.Tuto4PC may be free to install other PC threats with every passing moment that Adware.Tuto4PC has on your computer.
When Tutorials Teach Your Browser How to Misbehave
The tutorial website officially marketing Adware.Tuto4PC is one with a strong history of distributing various types of adware, advertisements, browser hijackers and other content that commonly are associated with minor browser problems. Interestingly enough, the company responsible for Adware.Tuto4PC appears to be doing all of this with the supposed consent of its users, as a quick look at its user policy will inform you that Adware.Tuto4PC has the right to install third party content at will, update itself, hijack your browser and collect non-confidential information, amongst other things. As a general safety tip, malware researchers consider it a good practice to avoid any software with such suspicious user agreements – even if the program doesn't conduct any immediately threatening functions.
Because of Adware.Tuto4PC's ability to install other software automatically, Adware.Tuto4PC also has close associations with other forms of adware, including EoRezo. Symptoms between different payloads related to Adware.Tuto4PC are, of course, flexible, but may involve injected advertisements, pop-ups, homepage hijacks and/or search hijacks to promote advertising content and traffic redirections that are profitable for Adware.Tuto4PC's company. Other problems may arise as Adware.Tuto4PC may install additional software.
Flunking Adware.Tuto4PC out of Your Browser Security Class
Even though all of its functions are outlined in its user agreement and, therefore, technically consensual, Adware.Tuto4PC should be considered a danger to your PC and removed, like all other kinds of threats. Because of the risks of additional PC threats being installed through Adware.Tuto4PC, malware experts suggest scanning your PC with accurate anti-malware products that also can delete any hidden threats, along with removing Adware.Tuto4PC.
As of this article's writing, Adware.Tuto4PC has not been found guilty of using non-consensual means to install itself, despite its functions including almost every invasive act that a low-level PC threat possibly could accomplish. Since the Tuto4pc.com website looks perfectly legitimate unless examined by a third party source that can provide additional information on its business history, Adware.Tuto4PC's mere existence serves as a potent underscoring to malware expert's advice about never installing software without researching its source.
