Threat Metric

The Threat Meter is a malware assessment that SpywareRemove.com's research team is able to give every identifiable malware threat. Our Threat Meter includes several criteria based off of specific malware threats to value their severity, reach and volume. The Threat Meter is able to give you a numerical breakdown of each threat's initial Threat Level, Detection Count, Volume Count, Trend Path and Percentage Impact. The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.

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.

Auf Ihrem Computer ist infiziert Virus is a ransomware Trojan that displays an erroneous warning message about infections on your computer. This warning, besides blocking other programs, also attempts to get the PC user to pay a worthless ransom fee that supposedly helps them procure software that can disinfect their computer. Like any ransomware Trojan, the Auf Ihrem Computer ist infiziert Virus is entirely fraudulent and doesn't have any ties to any entities other than criminal organizations. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend disabling Auf Ihrem Computer ist infiziert Virus through proven anti-malware strategies and then deleting Auf Ihrem Computer ist infiziert Virus with your preferred brand of anti-malware product (rather than trying to use the nonexistent solution that the Auf Ihrem Computer ist infiziert Virus advocates).

Europe's Ransomware Tragedy Continues with the Auf Ihrem Computer ist infiziert Virus

The Auf Ihrem Computer ist infiziert Virus or 'Your computer is infected with a virus' is a Trojan that performs several actions to attempt to extort money (at this time, up to one hundred Euros) from its victims. SpywareRemove.com malware research team has found the Auf Ihrem Computer ist infiziert Virus's attacks to be very reminiscent to those of other ransomware Trojans that also target Germany such as Bundespolizei National Cyber Crimes Unit Ransomware and GVU Gesellschaft zur Verfolgung Ransomware. Nonetheless, other countries are also at risk of similar attacks, particularly those in the European geopolitical region, which has been responsible for tens of thousands of Euros of ransomware Trojan-based profit to date.

Auf Ihrem Computer ist infiziert Virus's warning message imitates the appearance of the Windows login/installation screen, thereby preventing you from using other programs that could verify or debunk Auf Ihrem Computer ist infiziert Virus's claims. Disabling Auf Ihrem Computer ist infiziert Virus via Safe Mode or by way of booting your computer through a removable device is highly encouraged and, as SpywareRemove.com malware analysts note, may be necessary before you can remove the Auf Ihrem Computer ist infiziert Virus safely.

While the Auf Ihrem Computer ist infiziert Virus ingeniously disguises its nature as a PC threat by claiming that an unrelated PC threat is actively damaging your computer, the Auf Ihrem Computer ist infiziert Virus is incapable of providing the anti-malware solutions that the Auf Ihrem Computer ist infiziert Virus espouses – regardless of whether or not you pay its fine. Similarly, SpywareRemove.com malware experts are quick to note that ignoring the Auf Ihrem Computer ist infiziert Virus's alert will not result in your files being deleted, even though the Auf Ihrem Computer ist infiziert Virus's warning message claims that this is an inevitable result of inaction after ten hours have passed.

The Extras in an Auf Ihrem Computer ist infiziert Virus Attack that You Should Be Canny to Evading

Auf Ihrem Computer ist infiziert Virus uses the infected computer's IP information to prevent itself from displaying an inappropriate (i.e., German) warning message to non-German PC users. Consequentially, non-German victims attacked by Trojans associated with Auf Ihrem Computer ist infiziert Virus can be expected to experience attacks by similar ransomware Trojans that use other languages, such as the Finnish-using Poliisi Tietoverkkorikos Tutkinnan Yksikkö Ransomware or the English-using Strathclyde Police Ukash Virus.

Distribution methods for Auf Ihrem Computer ist infiziert Virus tend to be associated with Trojans from the Reveton family, which are responsible for distributing, installing and displaying many types of ransomware-based PC threats, including members of the Ukash Virus family. Since the majority of Reveton Trojan payloads will pretend to be affiliated with law enforcement or government organizations, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers especially caution against lending your trust to unusual pop-up errors that include references to such entities.
