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.

OnlineAPP is an adware application that may get on your computer even though you didn't download and install it intentionally. These unwanted installations may occur with the help of dubious tricks that may often involve the use of software bundling – a software distribution method that may be used to spread adware, Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) and other safe, but not necessarily valuable programs.
OnlineAPP doesn't offer any unique features, and its installation will not improve the user's experience at all. The only major change that this utility brings is that OnlineAPP may keep spawning ads, pop-ups, and similar content in all active Web browser windows. This behavior is strongly undesired since it may prevent users from fully utilizing their Web browser's potential, as well as because it may cause performance issues on low-end computers. Furthermore, the marketing content that OnlineAPP displays may often go unchecked, and it is entirely possible that the 'Ads by OnlineAPP' may promote Potentially Unwanted Programs, potentially unsafe Web destinations and other dubious content that users should avoid.
The best way to handle the issues that OnlineAPP may cause is to fully remove the program via the Windows Control Panel or the list of installed browser extensions. Keep in mind that it is also a good idea to run an anti-malware scanner that can check for leftover files and Registry entries linked to OnlineAPP's activities.
