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.

BestZiper is a file compression application that may be promoted as a worthy contender of WinRar, 7Zip, and other popular archive managing software suites. Apart from being downloaded from the official website, BestZiper also may be spotted in software bundles that offer users to install the application. While users might not notice anything unusual about BestZiper, a closer look at the Privacy Policy listed on their website shows that users who install BestZiper also will agree to allow the application to collect Web browsing data that may be used to improve the quality of the targeted ads that users see. The ads in question also may be associated with BestZiper, as this extension works as adware and may displays ads in running Web browser instances.
The ads that BestZiper shows may be provided by 3rd-party advertising partners so that their content may vary on a case-by-case scenario. However, it is possible that the ads might not include relevant products, information or services, and users who've installed BestZiper will most likely be looking for a way to remove the ads and the software that brought them in the first place.
The good news for users who wish to uninstall BestZiper is that they may not need to use an anti-malware application to execute this task. BestZiper does not appear to use any self-preservation techniques, nor does it hide any files on the victim's machine, and this means that most users should be able to uninstall it via the Windows Control Panel. However, if you suspect that this may not be enough, then you may be glad to hear that credible anti-virus software is able to deal with Potentially Unwanted Programs like BestZiper.
