Threat Metric

The Threat Meter is a malware assessment that SpywareRemove.com's research team is able to give every identifiable malware threat. Our Threat Meter includes several criteria based off of specific malware threats to value their severity, reach and volume. The Threat Meter is able to give you a numerical breakdown of each threat's initial Threat Level, Detection Count, Volume Count, Trend Path and Percentage Impact. The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.

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.

Threat Level:	5/10
Infected PCs:	166

Onmylike.com is a search site that uses Google to find any actual search results that you may be interested in browsing, with no other major features besides that redirect to Google. Nonetheless, Onmylike.com does include some minor hidden functions that aren't advantageous to its visitors, all of which are intended to track your basic Web-browsing behavior for purposes of profit. Malware experts don't see any benefit to using Onmylike.com and recommend keeping your distance from Onmylike.com unless you have a good reason to visit, and as always, any browser redirects to Onmylike.com from concealed or difficult-to-remove programs should be put to a firm halt with a solid anti-malware program's threatening software deletion features.

Onmylike.com: the Site that's Just Like Another One that You Already Know

In the World Wide Web, there are countless islands of search engines that are eager for new traffic any way they can get it, but Onmylike.com takes what is, perhaps, the single laziest strategy for encouraging visitors: providing redirects straight to a better site than itself, Google.com. Despite its format as a search engine, Onmylike.com doesn't have any kind of real search functionality. Malware researchers did find some evidence of Onmylike.com adding its own spices to Google's search results by way of additional user-tracking files that monitor which sites you visit and what search terms you use. These files don't gather confidential information like passwords but often are considered invasive by the privacy-minded and also provide zero benefits for your PC.

Throughout its fairly brief history, Onmylike.com has not been noted as a distributor of unsafe Web content such as phishing attacks, drive-by-downloads or scams, and malware experts also have not seen Onmylike.com tampering with the results 'borrowed' from Google. Although visiting Onmylike.com isn't an action that's easy to justify as beneficial, such visits should be safe for your PC provided that you don't make obvious errors in your Web-browsing habits, such as installing software from potentially risky sources.

When You Don't Get a Choice About Liking Onmylike.com

Onmylike.com sometimes is promoted by the attacks of search engine hijackers that are installed unknowingly and may modify your default search engine settings to force your browser over to Onmylike.com (or other sites). These Onmylike.com hijacks aren't affiliated with any one toolbar or other browser add-on, and any hidden software that forces you to Onmylike.com without your permission always should be considered unsafe. Because these programs usually are hidden and unaffiliated with normal software products, SpywareRemove.com malware experts especially encourage anti-malware tools for deleting Onmylike.com hijackers regardless of any other symptoms they may display.

Malware experts currently are still looking over the many potential infection routes for Onmylike.com hijackers. Until new evidence arises, you should protect your browser from Onmylike.com hijacks the same way you'd defend it from any browser hijacker: avoiding clicking on suspicious advertisements, visiting compromised websites, installing software from sources that aren't trustworthy or using a browser without any security features enabled.
