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:Win32/Vonteera is adware that injects advertisements into your browser promoting various products and services, such as free media players. Because the formats of advertisements favored by Adware:Win32/Vonteera make it unclear what content is delivered by Adware:Win32/Vonteera, and because these advertisements also may be used to deliver potentially unsafe content to your browser, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend removing Adware:Win32/Vonteera as a general security risk that should be dealt with by good anti-malware programs. However, if you minimize any contact with Adware:Win32/Vonteera's advertisements and remove Adware:Win32/Vonteera as soon as possible, your PC is more likely than not to survive a temporary Adware:Win32/Vonteera infection unscathed.
The Advertisements Coming for Any Browser You Happen to Like
Adware:Win32/Vonteera uses a generous installation plan that supports compatibility with Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox – although SpywareRemove.com malware experts haven't seen any evidence of its having compatibility with any non-Windows Web browsers. After installing itself, Adware:Win32/Vonteera may display advertisements in any of these three browsers. Rather than delivering its advertisements as pop-ups, Adware:Win32/Vonteera injects its advertisements into unrelated sites, such as Facebook, Yahoo or Youtube. Adware:Win32/Vonteera's advertisements also are not clearly marked to let you distinguish them from any normal website content, which is a significant warning sign of its potential security issues.
Adware:Win32/Vonteera advertisements are varied but have been known to promote some types of software that are favorite disguises for low and high-level PC threats, such as rogue defragmenters and fake anti-virus scanners. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers would recommend that you avoid downloading software through Adware:Win32/Vonteera's advertisements – or, at a bare minimum, research any new program before you trust it enough to put it on your hard drive.
Trimming the Vonteera Invasion Back from Your Browsers
Since Adware:Win32/Vonteera modifies multiple browsers to support its advertisement delivery functions, SpywareRemove.com malware research team warns that any effort at removing Adware:Win32/Vonteera will have to take into account all affected browsers, instead of just a single browser – regardless of whether you use your alternative browsers or leave them to collect dust. Anti-malware programs with system-scanning functions provide the easiest ways of removing Adware:Win32/Vonteera, although you also should be careful to keep all affected browsers closed during any scans.
Infection methods favored by Adware:Win32/Vonteera and similar adware-based PC threats usually are non-consensual. Adware:Win32/Vonteera may be installed along with another program, installed through unreliable Web exploits or installed with the help from a Trojan. Besides the obvious recourse of using anti-malware tools to block all of these attacks, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers also find it wise to research a download before installing it, since a quick look into a site or program's history may help you find out whether or not Adware:Win32/Vonteera and other programs often are bundled with such links.
