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.

Mal/Jadtre-C is a malware threat and dropper of the Chinese bootkit Guntior. Mal/Jadtre-C has two execution branches; one is a dynamic link library (DLL) and the other is an executable. Throughout its execution down the '.exe' path Mal/Jadtre-C maintains a log file in the %Temp% directory called 'stinst.log' to grab information such as the OS version and its randomly generated name when it copies itself to the system32 directory. Mal/Jadtre-C also makes sure that the %Temp% directory is attached to the PATH environment variable. Mal/Jadtre-C relies on the system time as a seed to create random names for itself and its dropped components. Mal/Jadtre-C also names a copy of itself 'msimg32.dll' in the %Temp% directory, creates a copy of 'HelpCtr.exe' in the %TEMP% directory, and alters the PEFlags in the new copy of 'msimg32.dll' so that they indicate that the file is a dll. 'HelpCtr.exe' is a legitimate and safe Windows file that imports calls from 'msimg32.dll', which is usually found in the system folder. 'HelpCtr.exe' starts the Windows Help and Support Center homepage.
