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.

GraphiteCommand is typical adware that fills the available web clients with all kinds of advertisements. Its codes are written on the famous JustPlugIt engine, which allows even people with limited knowledge of computers to create their custom add-ons. The primary distribution channel of GraphiteCommand is known as "bundling". This fact means that you may accidentally agree to install GraphiteCommand when you give access to some other freeware. Exactly for this reason the experts promote the use of the more detailed "Custom" guide whenever you are about to load a cost-free application. The adware sticks to Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer as an add-on, which can easily be located in the corresponding add-on manager. In theory, the ads that it displays should make it easier for you to find the best deals and discounts at the moment. In reality, the newly generated pop-ups, banners and interstitial ads may quickly annoy you. The commercial materials will become a key element of each of your browsing sessions – it will be hard for you to find a website that is spared of their influence. The only good thing about these marketing materials is that they are labeled clearly so that you can easily avoid them. Below every sponsored pop-up or banner, you may notice a text like "Ads by GraphiteCommand" and "Powered by GraphiteCommand". You should click on the ads at your own discretion because they may point you towards potentially dangerous destinations. Since the ads rely on the system resources, you may notice functionality issues as well. Luckily, the removal process of this adware is easy – all it takes for it to happen is to scan your system with reliable anti-malware software.
