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.

DailyPCClean is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), which promises to clean your computer from harmful applications and garbage files. The creators of this questionable software state that their product will improve the functionality of your PC and guard you against all infection attempts. However, DailyPCClean isn't an actual security tool and achieves absolutely nothing of the promised. The PUP has only one goal, which is to make you buy its full license. You should not purchase it as this way you will just waste your money. Unlike some rogue antivirus programs, DailyPCClean doesn't block the functionality of your machine to make you believe you are infected. Instead, it tries to scare its clients by claiming there are thousands of malicious files on their computers. You may observe these warnings whenever your Windows boots. However, you should know that the scanning process doesn't happen. The results, which indicate numerous errors and security issues, are set in advance. They will be the same even if you reinstall your Operating System (OS). If you click on the large "Fix now" button, you will be redirected to a certain webpage that encourages you to register and buy the license of DailyPCClean. If you don't want to see the misleading alerts, you should use a real anti-malware application to eradicate this PUP from your machine.
