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.

HackTool:Win32/Kapahyku is a harmful software that may represent a huge vulnerability to the systems it reaches. It creates its own files and may affect the files of other applications. The parasite connects the infected machine with remote hosts, which may be used to load additional threatening programs. In reality, the installation of hack tools may lead to the automatic download of various types of threats or highly suspicious applications. There is one big difference between HackTool:Win32/Kapahyku and the majority of stealthy Trojans in terms of distribution channels. Usually, advanced cyber threats may enter without the knowledge of the victim hidden in compromised email attachments of fake updates. As it appears, the infection with HackTool:Win32/Kapahyku may happen when PC users download cracks for some legitimate software voluntarily. These cracks are used to run paid software without purchasing its license. You should not download them because these hacking tools may possess some malicious codes. If this threat enters, it will inject its codes into other running processes quickly. Even if you check the Task Manager, you may not notice any new and suspicious process. HackTool:Win32/Kapahyku creates few files in the %TEMP% folder, but their names are different each time. The cyber threat also creates registry sub-keys that launch it whenever you turn on your PC. After the preparatory phase is over, the harmful tool initiates a connection to hosts like get.flow-56.xyz through port 80. Thanks to these hosts the hackers can communicate with their threats. They may send various instructions for specific operations. The culprits also may download any threat they want automatically. Eventually, they may get full access to the infected system, which may have extremely negative results. If you downloaded any cracks recently, you should check your machine with reliable security software immediately.
