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.

Bucksbee is a browser hijacker, which is advertised via other free software downloads, and when installed on the targeted PC, it adds a toolbar, changes the browser homepage and default search engine to srp.freecause.com. Bucksbee Search will display pop-up advertisements and sponsored links in hijacked search results, and may gather search terms from victimized search queries. Bucksbee Search invades the infected computer after a PC user has installed another free application or add-on that had bundled into their installer Bucksbee. For example, when a computer user installs vPlay, he/she will also agrees to change the default browser home page and default search engine to srp.freecause.com, and installs the Bucksbee Toolbar. However, when a computer user uninstall vPlay from the computer, the compromised web browser's default settings will not be restored.
