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.

The Office Work Suite is a browser add-on offered by Polarity Technologies LTD, and many users might be tempted to install it because the Office Work Suite offers access to various document-editing tools that can be used from the Web browser directly. This message might mislead some users into thinking that Office Work Suite will offer a unique set of tools, but the truth is that all this extension does is refer users to 3rd-party online document-editing services such as the Google Docs and others. While this is somewhat helpful, it is certainly not worth it to install a dubious browser extension just to get a quick link to the Google Docs, Zoho Docs, and similar online services.
In addition to not offering anything special, the Office Work Suite also may annoy users by tampering with their browser's settings and introducing an alternative new tab page or default search aggregator. It is possible that users who've installed the Office Work Suite might have their search engine and new tab set to Search.hofficeworksuite.com – a safe page, which brings results via the Yahoo Search.
While not harmful, there's no denying that Search.hofficeworksuite.com is way too intrusive, considering that it offers nothing of worth. We recommend the removal of this Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) to be completed either manually or with the assistance of suitable security software.
