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.

MySportTab is a browser add-on, which is advertised as a convenient utility that allows its users to receive news, media content, score updates, results, and other sports-related information in their web browser instantly. While this might sound useful, you should know that none of the content that MySportTab provides is hosted on a website related to the extension's publisher and, instead, all it does is to summarize articles and updates from other websites, and then display the embedded in the new tab page that MySportTab is meant to promote.
The installation of MySportTab demands permission to modify the default new tab page of your Web browser. If you do not approve this, you can't proceed with the installation of MySportTab and you will not get access to any of the add-on's 'features.' Overall, it appears that MySportTab's primary purpose is to generate traffic for the new tab page it promotes.
The MySportTab extension is marked as a 'Potentially Unwanted Program' (PUP) by malware researchers. This means that this software is safe to use, but its installation might bring unforeseen changes to your computer's behavior (in this case, an unwelcome change to your browser's configuration). If you've installed the MySportTab, and you are not satisfied with the set of features and changes it introduced, then we suggest that you consider removing it as soon as possible. To ensure that this PUP is uninstalled properly, you should either use your Web browser's integrated add-on manager or a 3rd-party PC security tool.
