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.

The High PC Booster is a product of Longrun Software Private, and it is being promoted as a PC optimization utility that can help users clean up junk files, remove unnecessary data, optimize the Registry, and apply various fixes whose purpose is to improve the PC's overall performance and stability. However, what the official website of the High PC Booster may forget to add is that the trial version of the software is unable to carry out any of the promised operations. Instead, it is only able to perform a system scan and generate a report, which contains the recommended fixes and optimizations. To carry out the needed optimizations, the users will be asked to pay for the premium version of the High PC Booster, which comes at a price of $19.99. The peculiar thing is that the ‘Buy' button takes users to the website of Ultra Heal, a publisher that also sells other Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) like the PC Smart Cleanup.
The High PC Booster is not unsafe, but it is recommended to remove it if you are not planning to pay for the full product. If you do not get rid of the High PC Booster, it might display notifications and reminders whose purpose is to ensure that you will not forget to pay for the full product repeatedly. These reminders may turn out to be rather annoying since they can't be disabled without terminating the High PC Booster. Due to the lack of any corrupted traits, you can remove the High PC Booster manually, and you will not need to worry about leftover files. Alternatively, you could also use a suitable PC security tool that will make sure to fully wipe the High PC Booster's files.
