Threat Metric

The Threat Meter is a malware assessment that SpywareRemove.com's research team is able to give every identifiable malware threat. Our Threat Meter includes several criteria based off of specific malware threats to value their severity, reach and volume. The Threat Meter is able to give you a numerical breakdown of each threat's initial Threat Level, Detection Count, Volume Count, Trend Path and Percentage Impact. The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.

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.

Threat Level:	8/10
Infected PCs:	14

JumboDeals is an adware extension that may modify one or more Web browsers for loading extra advertisements. JumboDeals advertisements are not necessarily harmful to your PC, but may pose a minor threat to your online safety, and especially are likely to interfere with your normal browsing activities. Since JumboDeals habitually installs itself in formats that make JumboDeals challenging to remove, malware experts advise using anti-adware scanners or equivalent security tools when deleting JumboDeals from any browser.

Your Jumbo Load of Browser Advertisements

The meteoric rise of Internet advertising revenue, while remarkable from a financial standpoint, also has a dark side: the non-consensual delivery mechanisms that many advertisers rely on for acquiring traffic. JumboDeals is a 2014-era browser add-on continuing with this philosophy of delivering advertisements before asking for permission. Most PC users report of JumboDeals's being installed from a bundle with free software. Malware researchers can corroborate this as a likely source of installations due to JumboDeals's lack of historical incidents as the payload from a Trojan downloader or other form of threats.

Most bundle installers delivering JumboDeals may modify more than one browser automatically. To date, malware researchers can confirm Chrome and Internet Explorer being susceptible to the following symptoms, any of which you can use for identifying JumboDeals:

JumboDeals may hijack your browser when it begins loading a Web page and redirect it temporarily to a full page interstitial advertisement.
JumboDeals may modify the pages you're browsing by injecting banners, lists of supposedly time-limited offers and other advertisements.
JumboDeals also may load audio-format advertisements, particularly on streaming media sites, such as YouTube.

JumboDeals may pair these invasive advertisement formats with a refusal to provide controls for disabling them. Accordingly, PC users may find themselves unable to use certain website services, navigational menus or other content until both JumboDeals, and its advertisements, are removed.

JumboDeals may not be a threat, but its preferences in advertising formats show how much a Potentially Unwanted Program may do to disrupt any PC owner's Web-surfing pastimes. Although malware researchers found most samples of JumboDeals failing to display clear entries in a browser's extension manager or the Windows Control Panel, its advertisements are tagged for easy identification. Once noticed, you can remove JumboDeals with whatever anti-adware product you trust the most. If JumboDeals advertisements continue to load, you may wish to reset your browser's cache and other saved data.

JumboDeals and similar adware programs are reliant on install managers that bundle them with freely downloadable software. Although, in most circumstances, these products aren't detectable as threatening, your PC security products should be able to identify common adware platforms with one of several heuristic labels. PC users who take the time to download programs only from sites that don't bundle adware are, however, the safest from undesired JumboDeals advertisements.
