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.

Dr Games is an ad-oriented Web plugin, closely associated with a gaming platform. In the past, the site could be found at dr-games.com. Later the domain switched to gogy.com. This gaming site contains numerous online games, and some of them have a desktop version as well. If you agree to download any game or other software from gogy.com, the adware also may sneak in. If you can notice the symptoms of the ad-supported extension but didn't install it manually, then it may have evaded your attention hidden in the executable files of third-party freeware. Dr Games doesn't contain harmful traits, but it still may impact Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer in an adverse way. The adware may insert supplementary commercial materials in the shape of pop-ups, banners, interstitial ads and videos. As you could expect, such a large variety of ads may become pretty annoying as the time passes.
Depending on the hardware, the presence of the pop-ups, banners and especially the multimedia-heavy videos also may disrupt the functionality of the browsers. Possible issues that you may encounter are reduced operating speed, freezes and occasional crashes. The large quantity of commercial elements, some of which may seize a significant part of your screen, is not the only approach to make you click on them. The ads by Dr Games also may be pretty accurate because they are based on the browsing cookies that may enter as you surf the Web. The advice of experts is not to click on the marketing materials no matter how appealing they may be. There is no mechanism that can sort the legit partner pages from the potentially dangerous ones, so you may enter some harmful platform accidentally. The recommended course of action is to use special anti-malware software to eliminate the adware
