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.

JiSuZip is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), which is likely to reach the computer of Chinese users who are fans of the application called MaohaWiFi. Apparently, MaohaWiFi may often be bundled with JiSuZip, and users who opt to install the popular WiFi manager might agree to also install the JiSuZip software accidentally. Thankfully, this is not a harmful application and, in fact, Chinese users might be happy with what it has to offer – a convenient interface and a Chinese interface. However, the problem with JiSuZip is that sometimes it might end up being installed on the computer of a user who does not know a word of Chinese accidentally. After being installed, JiSuZip may create a Windows service whose purpose is to launch JiSuZip when the computer boots up. Furthermore, this service might set JiSuZip as the default archive manager for the computer, and this is guaranteed to confuse users who are not familiar with Chinese because this is the only language that JiSuZip's interface is available in.
Since JiSuZip is not a harmful application, seeing it on your computer is not a reason to be worried. However, if you did not install it on purpose and if you do not plan on using JiSuZip, then we recommend that you remove it since all it will do is take up space and add additional Windows services, which may slow down slightly the speed at which Windows starts. The removal of JiSuZip should be carried via the Windows Control Panel.
Keep in mind that many PUPs are installed via software bundles, and you can keep them away from your computer easily by simply paying closer attention to the installation instructions you are presented with while you install new software. Usually, the installation of JiSuZip or similar applications is optional, but some users who rush through the setup wizard might opt to install JiSuZip accidentally although they do not need it.
