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.

It is created by Mindspark Interactive Network – a software developer, which fills the cyberspace with tons of add-on applications for popular web browser applications.

However, this feature is not something that can benefit you too much, as all data is directly borrowed from the websites of FedEx, UPS, and DHL. The purpose of this functionality is just to encourage the installation, and the real effects of PackageTracer Toolbar tend to be rather negative.
PackageTracer is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by computer security researchers and may be used by Mindspark to promote affiliate sites. As a result, you may face unwanted changes to your Web browser's settings, such as the new tab page, homepage, or start page.
