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.

Ekerberos, also known as iKerberos or E-kerberos is a fake anti-spyware application that may be installed through a Trojan infection or a website that pushes the Ekerberos program. E-kerberos can be put in the same category as other rogue anti-spyware programs because Ekerberos performs the same tactics. Ekerberos attempts to get you to purchase a full version through popups and alert notifications that can become very annoying if Ekerberos is not removed.
Ekerberos is very deceptive in nature. If it is not various fake messages that you get, then it is the fake scan that Ekerberos performs on your system without your permission. The results displayed in the Ekerberos are erroneous and should not be trusted. Ekerberos is not good for detection or removal of parasites. It may be difficult to manually remove Ekerberos completely from your system. Ekerberos should be scanned with a reputable spyware scan tool.
