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 Jungle Arcade is an online gaming platform, which offers users the ability to choose from thousands of online Flash games that can be played from their Web browser directly. Everything about the Jungle Arcade's website appears to be okay, and it does not contain any suspicious content that may take users to external websites, which are not safe. In addition to this, all games that the Jungle Arcade offers appear to work as expected so that there isn't anything shady going on there either. However, there appears to be a browser extension linked to the website, which also goes by the name 'Jungle Arcade' and its presence on your computer may sometimes by accompanied by unwanted side effects.
The Jungle Arcade is detected as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by anti-virus applications and users who have had to deal with this extension report that its installation changed their default new tab page to a 3rd-party website. In addition to this, it is possible that the Jungle Arcade also might inject ads in active Web browser windows, but this information is yet to be confirmed. Regardless of the side effects, what matters the most is that having the Jungle Arcade installed does not provide you with any useful features. The extension is not required to access the content hosted on the Jungle Arcade's website so that you can keep on playing their games without installing 3rd-party software on your computer.
