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.

MyHomePage.pro is a dubious search engine whose landing page leads users to a search field accompanied by a collection of icons that link to popular websites and online services. Usually, PC users don't use random websites they found on the Internet as their homepage or new tab page and, instead, they stick to using reputable search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing – mainly because they are associated with major names in the software field, and it is certain that they will always function in a reliable manner. On the opposite side, we have MyHomePage.pro – a website that appears to be very functional, but it also seems to be linked to dubious browser extensions whose sole purpose is to modify the browser's configuration by setting MyHomePage.pro as the browser's default new tab page. While software that performs changes of this sort is not considered to be unsafe, it is clear that its installation might be a rather annoying thing to experience since no one wants to have their browser's configuration modified by an unknown 3rd-party application.
It seems that the authors of MyHomePage.pro are also behind other websites that share the same features and design, but use different names – such is the case with MyBrowserHome.com. Keep in mind that the browser add-ons meant to promote these websites are likely to be advertised as browser-enhancing utilities that can introduce users to a broad range of handy tools and browser utilities. While the collection of links that MyHomePage.pro hosts might indeed be helpful, you should keep in mind that the browser add-ons related to this page have been classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), and any trustworthy anti-virus software suite will recommend their removal.
If you had your browser's new tab or homepage replaced with MyHomePage.pro recently, then you might want to run a suitable PC security scanner that will check your computer for intrusive software that might have brought MyHomePage.pro. While the removal of these add-ons is not mandatory, it is recommended to do it since this is a quick way to get your browser's settings back to normal and remove MyHomePage.pro.
