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.

E-Buyer is an adware extension that may insert various commercial materials in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. This plugin may enter without your knowledge when you install some cost-free applications. These cost-free applications may promote E-Buyer as a free and recommended addition towards the main program. However, the 'Quick' menu may install all components simultaneously without informing you properly about their features. It will not take you too long to detect various changes in the Web clients. As soon as you go online, you may notice that your homepage is different. E-Buyer may change the starting site to a manipulated search engine, which may redirect the users to third-party affiliate pages. E-Buyer may accomplish this goal by showing relevant links at the first positions. This adware also may generate additional pop-ups, banners, transitional ads, in-text ads and interstitial ads. These new ads may substitute those commercial materials that are part of the pages. E-Buyer introduces itself as a shopping assistant. Allegedly, its coupons and discounts should let you purchase the products that you want at a more reasonable price. Sometimes the ads by E-Buyer may transfer you to legit shopping sites. However, according to the majority of PC users, keeping E-Buyer is not worth it because of the effects of the marketing elements. They may irritate you with their quantity. At the same time, they may consume system resources, which may lead to functionality issues with the Web clients such as freezes and crashes. What is more, nothing can guarantee that all ads will open safe sites. In some cases, you may be brought to potentially threatening parts of the Web. If you are not able to delete the adware manually, which would not be a surprise, you should use a dedicated security product.
