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.

If you suddenly start observing large amounts of "Ads by ExtraLargeApp", you need to know that they are not created by a particular webpage. Instead, their origin can be traced to a certain ad-supported web plugin. Many useful applications, which are not sold for money, rely on ads to keep their license free. While such activity is totally understandable, this is not the case with ExtraLargeApp as it offers no other feature besides showing you ads. Allegedly, the newly created pop-ups, banners and in-text ads should make it easier for you to find the best deals at the moment. However, it is unlikely for this adware to enhance your online shopping as the promoted pages may turn out to be unreliable. Many malware infections happen after the user is redirected to compromised third-party pages by an adware tool, so you should ignore the ads. Their consequences for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer may also be unpleasant. It is possible for your browser to start working slower than normal or even to freeze once in a while. ExtraLargeApp can get access to your system when you install other free programs, so you should always read the details. If you decide to delete the adware due to its adverse effects, you should do it with a credible anti-malware application to make sure no files remain.
