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 Go Ransomware is a threat that locks up files on affected computers and asks for a ransom to be provided with a decryption key. The ransom note is written in Czech, and it is located in a file named 'precist.html.' This ransomware appends the extension '.LOCKED' to the encrypted files, and it uses strong AES and RSA encryption algorithms.
Each victim receives a unique ID number, which also is contained in the ransom note. The amount of the requested ransom is 0.05 Bitcoin and the operators of the malware claim that the user's files would be decrypted automatically as soon as the ransom is received. The Go Ransomware also is called the JoeGo Ransomware by some cybersecurity researchers. So far, it is known that this ransomware threat spreads through the following URL: 'nebezpecnyweb.eu/dl/m.'
