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 FilsmsFriendly Search is a browser-enhancing add-on offered by Friendlyappz.com, a company that is identical to Medianetnow.com. The purpose of both of these companies appears to be releasing browser extensions, which claims to provide users with the opportunity to access various interesting features as long as they agree to allow the add-on to modify their browser's configuration to promote a website affiliated with the publisher.
Some users might be misled into thinking that the installation of the FilsmsFriendly Search will give them access to movies and TV series that can be watched online for free, but the true purpose of this add-on is to simply update its users with the latest movie and series reviews, which might help them choose what to watch next.
When a user agrees to install the FilsmsFriendly Search, they also permit the add-on to replace their default new tab page with a search engine affiliated with the software's publisher. While this change is not harmful in any way, it is likely that the majority of users would prefer to use their favorite new tab page instead of a website that was brought to their attention by a dubious browser add-on.
If you have installed the FilsmsFriendly Search and want to dispose of the changes it brought, then you should start by removing the intrusive add-on. While this can be accomplished by uninstalling the FilsmsFriendly Search manually, we suggest that you use a credible PC security tool to deal with the troublemaking software.
