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.

JZip is a compression utility and archive manager, which might be promoted on various websites as a great alternative to popular software such as WinRar, 7Zip and others. However, direct download is not the most popular method to get JZip on your computer certainly, and it appears that many users ended up with JZip on their PCs even though they do not remember installing it. This usually happens via software bundles that users might come across when dealing with freeware and shareware applications. In general, software bundles are not harmful, but they might sometimes attempt to promote 3rd-party software such as JZip. It is not uncommon for low-quality bundles to utilize misleading instructions and basic tricks to increase the probability that the user will end up authorizing the installation of software such as Jzip unknowingly.
If you have JZip on your PC, then you might have already noticed that it has been set as the default program used to open various archive types. The good news is that this change is not unsafe and, in fact, JZip is likely to work reliably. However, it is understandable why most users would rather use a trustworthy software suite instead of a dubious tool like JZip.
If you have found JZip on your PC and you are not happy with its presence, then we advise you to take care of its immediate removal. Since this utility is not harmful, you should be able to uninstall it via the Windows Control Panel successfully. However, if this does not function, then you can also take care of the intruder by using a suitable PC security scanner.
