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.

BrowserAir is one of those applications that offer numerous positive features, but end up getting deleted soon after the installation. This Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) comes as a brand-new Chromium-based Internet client. It promises the users a very fast browsing speed, friendly design and a reliable protection of the private data. Although this functionality may seem appealing, the PUP comes with a range of other traits that are not explained adequately. You may notice that the webpages, accessed by BrowserAir, contain many more advertisements than usual. These sponsored materials are not hosted on the pages themselves but are instead created by the PUP. The suspicious browser tries to take advantage of its clients by exposing them to vast amounts of pop-ups, banners, in-text ads and interstitial ads. The philosophy behind this behavior is simple: with each redirection to the third-party affiliate sites, the developers of BrowserAir earn revenues. However, there is no guarantee whatsoever that the links will lead you to safe sites. There is a real risk that you may be redirected to phishing, fraudulent or frankly malicious pages, so you should stay away from the ads. In addition, the PUP may offer you some low-quality search engine that displays inaccurate results. Some users find it hard to remove BrowserAir manually. If you are not happy with the performance of this application, you should use a special security program to delete it.
