Threat Metric

The Threat Meter is a malware assessment that SpywareRemove.com's research team is able to give every identifiable malware threat. Our Threat Meter includes several criteria based off of specific malware threats to value their severity, reach and volume. The Threat Meter is able to give you a numerical breakdown of each threat's initial Threat Level, Detection Count, Volume Count, Trend Path and Percentage Impact. The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.

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.

Threat Level:	2/10
Infected PCs:	5,951

DeepBlue Games is adware that may enter if you download any content from deepblugames.com. The suspicious application may attach to the available Web clients, after which DeepBlue Games may change the settings automatically. The questionable tool also may reach your PC if you install freeware bundles and don't uncheck the suggested bonus programs manually. As all similar ad-based extensions, the primary goal of DeepBlue Games is to boost the traffic towards third-party partner sites. Some of them may be shopping platforms, so the increased number of visitors may enhance their sales. In exchange for the service, the owners of the promoted pages pay a certain commission whenever DeepBlue Games transfers PC users there. According to the majority of people who have this adware in their systems, however, DeepBlue Games may not improve their online purchases. On the contrary, DeepBlue Games may cause annoyance or even functionality issues. The problem with DeepBlue Games concerns the intrusiveness of the new commercial materials. You may find many more pop-ups and banners than usual, accompanied by hidden in-text ads or page-wide interstitial ads. They may appear in the vast majority of Web pages since they may not originate from the sites but the suspicious extension. DeepBlue Games also may modify the search results in a negative way by inserting too many sponsored links in the front positions. The adware doesn't need a proper approval to substitute the homepage with an unreliable alternative. Soon after the installation of DeepBlue Games, your browsers may start loading the sites more slowly than usual. This problem can be explained by the presence of multimedia ads, which may consume a lot of resources. It is not prudent to click on the sponsored links because you cannot be sure about the legitimacy of the sponsored sites. The experts recommend using dedicated security software to delete DeepBlue Games.
