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.

Findizer is an online shopping assistant that is supposed to provide users with special offers, deals and coupon codes that can help save money. Judging by Findizer's official website, this browser extension is meant to be used by French-speaking computer users, but because of Findizer's distribution methods, this software also may be installed on the computers of people who don't know a single word in French silently. This may lead to annoying issues due to Findizer's tendency to inject advertisements in the user's browser, as well as to display special offers written in French. Seeing French ads and offers in your Web browser isn't something most users would expect, and it goes without saying that the program responsible for this weird behavior should not be trusted.
Anti-malware software identifies Findizer as adware, and any potent cyber security product should be able to fully remove Findizer's components from your computer. If you don't take the necessary action to remove Findizer from your machine, you may be exposed to 'Findizer ads' whenever you launch your Web browser. These advertisements may include product offers, discounts, and coupon codes, but they may link to dubious websites, as well as to irrelevant or fraudulent content sometimes. Apart from displaying marketing content, the Findizer extension also may collect information regarding the Web browser's usage, IP address, geographical location, search queries, and other data that may be used to improve the quality of 'Findizer ads'. Findizer's background operations may raise severe privacy concerns and are another excellent reason to remove Findizer from your computer as soon as possible.
