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.

Pass And Play may not be among the Web extensions that the experts would recommend you to keep. This adware may annoy you with large quantities of unrequested commercial materials of all kinds. It would not be surprising at all if Pass And Play enters automatically. Direct and properly authorized downloads are not the most common distribution method of this adware. Pass And Play doesn't even have an official product page for a detailed description of its features. Pass And Play may attach towards your browsers after you install a software bundle. A lot of cost-free applications may promote additional free tools. Typically, the programs that try to evade the attention of the PC users may be unreliable, so it is better to uncheck them. This adware is cross-compatible so that it may modify Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer simultaneously. As you visit the Web, you may find many more ads than usual. They may be pop-ups, banners, interstitial ads, sponsored videos, or even cleverly placed in-text ads. Many people complain that the ads are too intrusive, which may cause annoyance. Pass And Play may include them in most pages, which may increase the loading time of the sites noticeably. Sometimes the multimedia materials may even result in crashes or freezes. Some PC users may assume that the numerous deals and coupons will optimize their shopping. It may not because the sponsored links may lead to unknown e-commerce platforms. You should purchase products from them at your own risk because some affiliate sites may be misleading. The ads may even redirect you to threat-spreading pages, so you should be vigilant. Pass And Play is pretty stubborn, so it would be wise to use a credible security solution for its removal.
