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.

It is only natural to search for the best offers when you want to purchase some product. However, a web extension called DelightfulDeals will most likely not help you in finding the most "delightful" deals. The experts label it as adware, which is a category of pretty questionable tools that may not benefit the clients in any way. Commonly, this questionable program may arrive as a bonus component of some freeware. DelightfulDeals may create lots of commercial materials in all possible forms. During your surfing sessions, you may come across some aggressive pop-ups, banners, page-wide interstitial ads and concealed in-text ads. Since these commercial materials may occupy a significant part of the screen no matter which site you are viewing at the moment, their presence may easily become annoying. Although DelightfulDeals is an extension that is very small in size, it may still affect the performance of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer in a negative way. Some of the ads, especially automatically launched videos, may burden the system, which may even result in occasional freezes and crashes. The benefits of these commercial materials are pretty questionable because the sponsored links may take the users towards untrustworthy platforms. There are cases when the pop-ups and banners have encouraged the people to share some data like the email address or phone number, which may afterwards be used for marketing purposes. The worst case scenario is that the ads by DelightfulDeals may redirect you towards dangerous pages, which may offer you bogus updates or mislead you that your PC is infected. If you see no point in keeping this adware, you should use the latest version of credible security software to delete it.
