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.

If your browsing experience is often disturbed by unexpected ads, which are labeled as 'Fooriza Ads,' then the source of the problem might be a browser extension you have installed recently. The source of these advertisements might be a browser extension titled 'Fooriza' whose official website offers to provide users with the most relevant content available online, and therefore make their Web browsing sessions more enjoyable and interesting.
However, the installation of Fooriza does no such thing and, instead, users who opt to add this add-on to their Web browser might end up having their browser's settings modified without their knowledge. Thankfully, Fooriza does not apply any potentially harmful changes, and it simply sets the default search provider to Search.fooriza.com. Searches performed through the address bar when Fooriza is installed will end up leading users to the Yahoo Search. However, attempting to open Search.fooriza.com without a search parameter, refers users to Search.cubokit.com.
While Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) like Fooriza are not considered to be harmful, they might often be the source of minor but annoying problems that most users would like to get rid of. The good news is that the Fooriza PUP is not that difficult to remove, and users can perform this operation either with the help of an anti-malware scanner or by uninstalling the Fooriza extension manually.
