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.

Kong Games is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that will most likely not help you in any way. The application is distributed with other cost-free products, and often users install it involuntarily. The developers of Kong Games describe it as a tool that will show you good discounts and in turn save you money. You will indeed witness many pop-up ads, banners and in-text ads on a regular basis while you browse the Internet. However, their aim is not to assist you in your on-line purchases but to generate web traffic to the partner sites. If an e-commerce platform needs the help of adware to gain clients, you cannot be sure about its legitimacy. Trying to display suitable ads, Kong Games records your browsing information, including the history and the searches. There are many cases when cyber criminals rely on adware for bringing people to their compromised sites, so you should also avoid the ads for security reasons. As the PUP doesn't offer any useful features, experts advise users to remove it with a special security program.
