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.

AnonymizerGadget by Jetico Ltd. is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), which may seem a suitable solution to those people who are concerned about their privacy. This application relies on various proxy servers to hide the location of its clients. The sites that you visit will be unable to find out your IP address. As a result, the PUP may let you visit blocked domains while hiding your true identity. However, the experts don't encourage the installation of AnonymizerGadget for two main reasons. First, this software is free, so it uses online ads as a means to obtain revenue. The new commercial materials by this PUP may hamper the performance of your browsers, causing minor but unpleasant functionality issues. The marketing elements take different forms – you may face large amounts of pop-ups, banners, sponsored videos and animations. They may contain vivid colors to draw your attention. The heavy multimedia ads may seize a portion of the available resources to load, which may result in unexpected freezes. The most serious concern regarding the new ads is that some of them may not lead to legitimate shopping platforms. Some compromised pop-ups and banners may open domains that represent a danger to the stability of the PC. The second main reason not to use AnonymizerGadget is also related to your security. Since the PUP will redirect you through a series of proxy sites, you may enter some malicious pages without your knowledge. There is no mechanism or institution that is responsible for the safety of the proxy servers, so the experts recommend you to avoid them. AnonymizerGadget may cause trouble when you attempt to remove it. If you wish to delete it wholly, it is advisable to use an advanced anti-malware product.
