Threat Metric
The Threat Meter is a malware assessment that SpywareRemove.com's research team is able to
give every identifiable malware threat. Our Threat Meter includes several criteria based off of
specific malware threats to value their severity, reach and volume. The Threat Meter is able to give
you a numerical breakdown of each threat's initial Threat Level, Detection Count, Volume Count,
Trend Path and Percentage Impact. The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic
breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for
each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in
its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to
remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.
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.

any suggestions if MS won't allow you to open an internet connection to download your program?
After carefully executing steps 1 - 4 (several times) the software still reappears after every restart of my computer. Am I FUBAR, or is there hope without having to purchase software that may or may not solve the problem?
beware!!! The company orignates from Moscowand is a total scam!
none at this time thank you Mortt
Thank you very much. It was very effective and got rid of all processes instantly.
After paying for the anti virus and getting cheated with my credit card is there any way of getting a refund?
I purchased this product and found it useless as a very bad virus forced me to do a system recovery losing data and pictures stored on my computer. How do I reach this company by phone ? The e-mail the support system sent to confirm my order is coming back as a failed address when I write back ?
It only took MS Antispyware 2009 2 days to shut down my computer. I cannot boot up Windows, and even though I understand how to reinstall XP, and put in the long hours to recreate files, favorites, folders, outlook express, etc (my data was not backed-up) I am hoping that you can send along some help...I have already purchased a Spotmau Power Suite 2009, yet it will not boot up my machine, contrary to its stellar claims of being able to "boot up any computer"
Thank-you in advance for any helpful information or recommendation.

i did the manual instructions for removing MS AntiSpyware 2009, and so far it seems to
have worked.
However every once in a while the process iexplore.exe starts up and plays music.
the music stops when i kill the process.
Any suggestions on how i can keep this from happening?
I got ripped off by MS Antispyware 2009. I want my money back. Do you have any suggestion on how this can be done? Please respond at the E-Mail address provided.Thank You, Michael Bruno
