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.

The FilmsJunkie Search is a browser extension, which promises to provide users with updates, news, and information regarding upcoming movies, as well as the films that are popular at the moment. However, the extension that the FilmsJunkie Search provides is not as unique as the extension claims it to be and, in fact, all info it provides can be accessed without using 3rd-party browser extensions. All data that the FilmsJunkie Search provides is hosted on goMovix so that users can simply visit this page if they want to see the movie details that this extension offers to provide them with.
Apart from not offering anything unique, the FilmsJunkie Search also might turn out to be quite annoying since it is meant to replace the Google Chrome's default search settings with Movie.eanswers.com. This change is not a harmful one, but it may provide you with questionable search results that are not as good as the ones provided by Yahoo, Bing, Google, or other renowned search engines.
The publisher of the FilmsJunkie Search is also behind several other Chrome extensions, which serve the same basic purpose and replace the default search aggregator with Movie.eanswers.com - videoBox Search, videoBox Search, moviesJunkie Search and videoJunkie Home. All of these add-ons are listed as Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs), and their removal is the recommended course of action. Don't forget that you can ensure the full removal of the software mentioned above by using a suitable PC security tool.
