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.

Air Globe is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that is responsible for displaying a lot of advertisements. This application is primarily distributed as a bundle towards a legitimate freeware. In addition, the browser extension is hosted on its own domain - airglobeapp.com. Its creators describe it as a useful tool that enhances the browsing experience by showing the best deals and in turn saving money. In fact, the majority of people are not happy with Air Globe because its ads start appearing on almost every visited site and become annoying. Users start witnessing popping up messages, banners, coupons, inline text ads and transitional ads. Even if the offers seem good, they provided links should not be followed because they may lead to a potentially harmful page. People should be careful when installing cost-free programs and should carefully read all information in order to avoid installing undesired additions to the main application. If Air Globe is already present, experts encourage its removal in order to keep the system safe.
