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.

If you suddenly start seeing many ads by MyBrowser while you surf the web, you should take them as an unequivocal sign of adware. You may find the tool that generates them in the add-on manager of your browser. The plugin works equally well on all popular platforms like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. The adware is nowhere to be found on the Internet even if you search for it thoroughly. It is neither hosted on its own official page nor the popular software download platforms, and yet many people complain about the unrequested ads. This behavior proves that MyBrowser relies on the "bundling" method. You may give it permission for installation during the setup process of some cost-free applications. Since the only purpose of these tools is to create marketing content, they are frequently promoted as helpful shopping optimizers. In reality, the numerous offers and discounts will most likely not benefit you in any way. They tend to lead to highly questionable pages because the famous e-commerce sites don't use this approach to get visitors. If you click on the ads, you may even find yourself in some potentially dangerous domains that may try to harm you somehow. You should know that even if you avoid the pop-ups, banners and targeted videos by MyBrowser, they may still ruin your online experience. They rely on the resources of your system, so it will not be surprising if you notice speed drops. To maintain your browser safe, you should consider deleting the adware.
