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 Awesome Dealers is an adware extension, which is compatible with Google Chrome only and offers to yield its users with access to the best deals, coupon codes, and promotions available online. In addition to this handy information, the Awesome Dealers is also meant to help users find the best prices for the products they are browsing by displaying additional offers. Although this functionality might sound helpful at first, you should keep in mind that the deals and offers that the Awesome Dealers displays may contain affiliate links, or point users to websites that sponsor the developers of the Awesome Dealers. In short, this extension might work as adware whose purpose is to refer users to specific online stores subtly, which will pay out a commission to the publishers of the Awesome Dealers for every successful purchase.
In addition to the coupon codes and promotions, it is possible that the Awesome Dealers also may display 3rd-party advertisements that are not affiliated with particular products, services or offers that the user has been browsing. In general, adware extensions like the Awesome Dealers don't bring many valuable features and, instead, they may often end up impairing the Web browser's performance by cluttering it with unwanted advertisements.
If you have the Awesome Dealers running on your PC and you'd like to put an end to its activity, then we advise you to run a credible PC security scanner, which should help identify and erase the Awesome Dealers' files. However, this threat is not threatening so that you are free to continue using it if you find its features to be satisfying.
