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 online shopping is a flourishing business, and many people enjoy it for its convenience. You should know that some programs may promise you to help you find the best deals, but they may be useless and annoying. An example of such application is i-Shop. It is typical adware that inserts commercial materials in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Hardly anyone downloads i-Shop intentionally: in fact, it is not easy to find a platform that hosts this web extension. It most often travels in software bundles as an addition towards some third-party freeware. You may be tempted to keep it by the promise that it will show you the best deals out there, which in turn will save you money on your purchases. However, if you perform the setup process through the "Quick" guide, you may notice the presence of the adware only after it modifies your web clients. What you will see is a large amount of pop-ups, banners, sponsored video commercials and cleverly positioned in-text ads. It will not be too surprising if the displayed offers meet your current needs because they are all based on your surfing and searching histories. The ads may take you towards partner sites, some of which may indeed attempt to sell you some products. However, a part of the ads may be not so safe since they may lead to potentially dangerous parts of the web. In addition, the fact that the marketing elements come in such large quantities may result in a slower working speed of the web clients, and some occasional crashes are also possible. If you are dissatisfied with the ads, you should use a dedicated anti-malware tool to delete i-Shop.
