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.

Aqovd.com is a Web portal that features a search engine as well as a broad range of other widgets and features that some users may find useful. Aqovd.com offers its users quick access to the latest news stories, addictive Flash games, popular Web destinations, dating websites, and other potentially interesting pages. The page's interface is quite cluttered because of the large amount of content published there, as well as the numerous ads that Aqovd.com hosts, and that's why some users may experience Web browser performance issues when they visit this page. However, the most notable thing about Aqovd.com isn't its feature-rich interface, but the fact that this website is popularized with the help of browser hijackers.
The Aqovd.com browser hijacker is a small application whose sole purpose is to reconfigure your Web browser so that it displays Aqovd.com as your homepage, search engine and new tab page. The Aqovd.com hijacker also may check your Web browser's settings continuously, and correct them automatically if you attempt to remove Aqovd.com as your default setting. Often, users may have no idea that the hijacker is on their computers because this small application may utilize unfair marketing tricks to get into them. For example, software bundling is a commonly used technique that browser hijackers rely on for their distribution. Software bundles are something you may get when you download freeware and shareware applications, so we advise you to be extra cautious when installing these types of software because they may offer to install the Aqovd.com hijacker or other Potentially Unwanted Programs.
Removing the Aqovd.com browser hijacker is a task that you should handle with the assistance of a reputable anti-malware scanner. This is required because potent anti-malware utilities can fully terminate all of the hijacker's components, and prevent the annoying pest from tampering with your Web browser's settings again.
