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.

The arcadeNet Search (also known as arcadeNet Start) is a product of Medianetnow.com, a software publisher that is behind a large number of browser-enhancing utilities such as the gamesZone Search, the nJoyPlay Now and the nJoy Movies Search. Users who opt to install the arcadeNet Search are likely to do it because of this program's promise to provide them with instant access to a neatly arranged list of online Flash games, which can be acquired free of charge, from the user's Web browser directly.
However, users who opt to install the arcadeNet Search extension may find out some annoying facts about the changes this extension may have brought quickly. First of all, the arcadeNet Search may modify the Google Chrome's default new tab page by removing the search field from there. This way, users will be more likely to search directly through the address bar, and this is exactly where the second change occurs. All searches performed through Chrome's address bar will first refer users to Play.eanswers.com, and then take them to the Yahoo Search's results page.
Although using the arcadeNet Search should not lead to any harmful consequences, some users would probably want to stay away from browser extensions that may tamper with their software's settings. If you also belong to this group and would want to remove the arcadeNet Search, then you can achieve this by using the Google Chrome's addon manager to uninstall the software in question. The removal of the arcadeNet Search also may be carried out with the use of a credible anti-malware utility.
