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.

The Innovia Secure Shopping is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by Aztec Media. This software promises to improve the shopping experience of users by offering them the best deals available on the Web. However, the Innovia Secure Shopping only works with specific online shops, and users who shop there might be offered price comparison charts, as well as links to better offers for the products they are viewing currently. Unfortunately, while some of the Innovia Secure Shopping's features might seem useful, users who opt to install this extension will also need to authorize it to apply changes to their Web browser's settings. In this scenario, the Innovia Secure Shopping may change the Google Chrome's default new tab page to a 3rd-party website, which is probably associated with Aztec Media.
The new tab page the Innovia Secure Shopping promotes may include links to popular online stores, as well as a search field that appears to work. However, online reports show that searches executed through the Innovia Secure Shopping's page may end up leading users to Blpsearch.com, a search engine that is linked to a large number of PUPs like the Elite Web Tool and the Blpmovies Ads.
Since the Innovia Secure Shopping is categorized as a PUP and it does not exhibit any unsafe traits, it is not mandatory to remove it from your computer. However, removing it is recommended since it may not offer anything of real value, and the only notable 'feature' is that it replaces your default new tab page with one that you have not seen before probably.
