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 Internet Defender infection is just a clone of older known rogue security program like Security Defender and Antimalware Defender. Internet Defender may be distributed by freeware sites, but is more often downloaded by Trojans who will disregard the system user's wishes to accomplish this. Internet Defender will issue worthless warnings and scan results indicating system problems and infections that don't exist, using these as an excuse to redirect you to the rogue product's website. Never give the criminals behind this rogue anti-virus infection any of your information or money, and try to delete Internet Defender immediately if you value the safety of your computer at all.
Not Original, but Fairly Effective
The behavior of Internet Defender is more or less the same as that of other slightly older rogue programs, making Internet Defender a clone that exhibits only superficial differences in the name and visible interface. The first sign of Internet Defender being an unwanted presence instead of useful software comes from its typical installation method, which is through a Trojan infection. The Trojan will usually begin by offering a message similar to this one:
“Antimalware security update for Windows XP (KB961118)”
Afterwards, regardless of the actions of the user, the Trojan will attempt to install Internet Defender. Keeping a level head and immediately rebooting into Safe Mode to run appropriate anti-virus software may prevent the actual Internet Defender infection from ever getting onto your system. If not, then you'll end up dealing with rogue anti-virus infections-related problems.
Ignore Internet Defender's Frantic Red Flags
Internet Defender will usually run a scan whenever you reboot your computer, and may prompt to scan at other times. Scanning results will always turn up multiple unremovable fake infections. After instilling the appropriate amount of fear in the user, Internet Defender then redirects him or her towards its own malicious website. Avoiding interaction with this site is very important, since it can drop other malware on your computer and will abuse any information or money given to it to the highest degree of illegality.
Internet Defender may also spill out convincing-looking error messages from time to time. Extra care should be given towards telling Internet Defender false alerts from real ones, since all of Internet Defender's errors are inaccurate ones only meant to frighten you.
Only by preventing Internet Defender from running and then deleting it wholly from your system can you be freed from the threats Internet Defender produces. Don't wait too long, since Internet Defender may open your computer up to other threats that can make proper anti-malware tactics harder to implement.

I cant even get through your site without this thing kicking me off and blocking my computer or sessions and I have a security back up already in place and dont want another one or need another one
this is getting on my nerve ,,,i already have an anti-virus and full protected , this is a rip off company .pls let me know how to get this INTERNET SECURITY OFF MY COMPUTER
this thing is so annoying and this website helped but it keeps sending me stupid warnings if any one can help me please do it. i did not pay them any thing but i cant find out how to get rid of it PLEASE HELP.
You can get rid of the Internet Defendant virus by restoring your system to a date before the infection took place. DO NOT WORRY. WINDOWS WILL DO THAT FOR YOU AND SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM IN A MATTER OF MINUTES.
This is how it’s done (in case you don’t know how to restore your computer):
go to Start > type msconfig > System Configuration > select Tools > select and launch System Restore. Choose a date before the infection took place.
This will restore your system files to an earlier state without changing your personal files.
I have an antivirus and I'm protected. please let me know how to get this internet security off my computer
I think that the best way is to restore your pc back to a date before the virus. Downloading files that claim to fix the problem or messing with the registers are problematic. Thanks Mohammed!
