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.

Fastfreshtabs is a browser extension that is identified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by some of the more popular anti-virus product vendors. The good news is that PUPs like this one do not pose a threat to your online safety, and the worst they can do is to influence your Web browsing experience in a negative way. In the case of Fastfreshtabs, users are offered to use a browser extension that allows them to reload all open browser tabs with the push of a single button. A small number of Internet users might find this function to be useful, but if they opt to install Fastfreshtabs to get access to this feature, they may end up being rather disappointed with the results.
Although installing Fastfreshtabs does bring the promised feature, users also might experience some other unwelcomed changes such as having their default new tab page replaced by a website associated with Fastfreshtabs. In addition to this, the installation of add-ons like Fastfreshtabs may sometimes be accompanied by the appearance of unwanted ads in active Web browser windows, but we don't have information whether Fastfreshtabs exhibits such behavior or not.
The Fastfreshtabs extension can be installed from its official website, but most users may come across it via online ads that promote this utility's main feature. According to Fastfreshtabs's website, the extension is powered by Quick Reload All Tabs, a name that we've associated with several other extensions that share the same website design and offer the same main feature - ReloadQuick (http://reloadquick.com/), OneClickFresh (http://oneclickfresh.com/) and eLoadAllTabs (http://eloadalltabs.com/). The owners of Fastfreshtabs also appear to be behind several other browser-enhancing utilities that use the same website design as Fastfreshtabs - Right-Click Search (http://rightclicksearch.info/), Search-Tool(http://search-tool.info/), Two-Click Search (http://two-click-search.info/) and Best Search (http://best-search.net/).
If you've installed any of the aforementioned extensions, then our advice is to remove them soon as they might be the reason for unexpected changes in your Web browser's behavior. Their removal can be completed with the assistance of an anti-malware tool, but it is a task that also may be carried out manually.
