Posted: October 10, 2016
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.

APT Ransomware has been discovered to be a malicious parasite that leverages the techniques in APT virus distribution that may be supported through Chinese government-supported threat intrusions. Much like other well-known threats that encrypt data on an infected PC, APT Ransomware can do such but never release the proper decryption key. The difference in APT Ransomware not making a decryption key available puts it in a category nearly on its own where its ransom demands are virtually useless and only serve to extort money from victimized computer users. Those who face APT Ransomware are left with the only option of removing the threat, which is done through the use of an antimalware resource or restoring their hard drive from a backup copy. In any case, it is best that APT Ransomware be eliminated the instant that it is noticed. Most times, APT Ransomware is spread through spam email attachments, which should be detected and blocked by use of a spam filter.
