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.

Loot Find is a questionable web add-on that has the sole intention of showing you commercial materials. The creator of this adware is a company named SuperWeb LLC. This software developer is well-known by cyber security experts, but its reputation is far from positive. SuperWeb LLC releases ad-oriented plugins like Treasure Track, Maximum Maker and Oasis Space regularly, all of which perform in an identical manner. Loot Find is not a bit more reliable than the other products of this questionable developer. Loot Find also may rely on the bundling method for its installations. A peculiar fact is that its official website, which is lootfind.net, doesn't contain a download button. The reason for the existence of the page is to host the End User License Agreement (EULA) and the Privacy Policy so that the clients of Loot Find cannot have any legal claims about its functionality. Loot Find may attach a series of pop-ups, pop-unders, banners and flashing animations everywhere on the opened websites. The adware also may encourage you to use a low-quality search site by putting it in the place of your default start page. You should trust neither the questionable search platform nor the endless commercial materials because their destination may not be a legitimate e-commerce webpage. Some of the ads may expose you to dangerous software or fraudulent sites. Unfortunately, ignoring the ads may not be enough to spare you all trouble because their mere presence may increase the loading time completely unnecessarily. Your browsers may start behaving in an unpleasant way, and some occasional freezes and crashes are entirely possible. In case you are unable to remove the adware from your PC on your own, which is quite likely, you should use credible anti-malware software.
