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 GoMovix Start is an add-on for Google Chrome, which is meant to help users discover new movie trailers, movie news, and follow the latest updates regarding their favorite actors and actresses. While this might sound great, this information is accessible through popular movie databases like IMDB easily, which do not ask you to install 3rd-party software to access their contents. Another reason why we don't recommend installing GoMovix Start is that this add-on is meant to modify the Chrome's settings to bring more traffic to a particular search page that will be set as the default Chrome New Tab.
In general, browser extensions that want to change the default new tab page or search aggregator are frowned upon. The GoMovix Start add-on has been labeled as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by malware researchers, and its removal is recommended. However, if you are happy with the GoMovix Start's services, then you should not feel obliged to remove it since it is not unsafe.
