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.

Jp-search.co is a domain name, which leads users to a simple search engine that claims to use the Google Custom Search. However, a quick check of the search feature found there reveals that Jp-search.co may not work as expected because the search result page appears to be empty. Apart from the search field & button, Jp-search.co does not seem to host any other meaningful content. The bottom section of the site reveals that this page is affiliated to a browser add-on that goes by the name 'JP Search.' However, this extension does not seem to be available on the official add-on repositories of major Web browsers so that there's a significant chance that it might not be released officially yet.
The browser extension linked to Jp-search.co is likely to offer users the ability to enhance their online experience by using a new and functional search page. As you can probably guess, the page in question is Jp-search.co, and the extension might set it as the default new tab page or homepage that the Web browser uses. While this change is certainly not harmful, many users will not be happy with it since it forces them to use a website that they might not be familiar with. Furthermore, the current condition of Jp-search.co shows that the users might even end up having to use a page that does not function at all.
If you see Jp-search.co in your Web browser on a regular basis and you have no idea why this is happening, then it is likely that the JP Search extension is installed on your PC. The best way to deal with this issue is to uninstall JP Search either manually or with the assistance of a cyber security utility. Security software can deal with JP Search because this application is listed as a Potentially Unwanted Program.
