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.

GreenGame is an intrusive adware that may fill your Web clients with tons of additional commercial materials. GreenGame doesn't have any positive features, so we cannot say that the ads are used to cover development costs. The function of the sponsored links is just to promote partner sites. For this service, the developers of GreenGame receive financial incentives. The company that stands behind this questionable add-on remains unknown. The tool doesn't have an official site that can provide information. Since there is no such page and the popular platforms for Web extensions don't host GreenGame, there is only one way for it to reach your PC. It may sneak in when you download some freeware, which comes with bonus free components. This distribution method is called 'bundling.' Luckily, if you conduct the setup process via the 'Advanced' menu, you can deselect the programs that you wish to avoid easily. The adware may modify all of the popular browsers, which includes Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. GreenGame may encourage you to perform your searches on low-quality search sites. GreenGame may even set such domain as the homepage of all Web clients. You should not use GreenGame because you may encounter too many sponsored links that lead to sites with unverified legitimacy. The ads that the adware may include in the pages are different. You may face some intrusive pop-ups, banners or video ads. There also may be transitional ads, which you may see when you go from one site to the next one. Some of the ads may suggest you install programs that may be unsafe. A part of the sponsored links may open misleading, compromised or fraudulent platforms. Even if you do your best to ignore the marketing materials, they may still worse the performance of your Internet clients. For best results, you should consider removing GreenGame with advanced security software.
