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.

FriendsBrowser officially offers "special social features for your web browser". However, these "special" features seem also to include numerous commercial advertisements that may be extremely annoying and irritating. Furthermore, the amounts of ads displayed by FriendsBrowser may be so high that your browser's performance may get affected, and it may start loading web pages slower. The types of ads displayed by FriendsBrowser may include pop-ups, in-text, banners, interstitial and transitional, and other types of advertisements. Clicking on these ads is not something one should do because it may result in the infection with more adware or other PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs). The official download link of FriendsBrowser is not working, which suggests that its primary distribution method may be bundling with other freeware. The legitimate features of FriendsBrowser may not be enough of a justification for its aggressive advertising behavior, and we recommend that users remove it from their computers.
