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 Practise Typing Tests Extension has been identified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) whose installation does not provide the user with access to unique features and, instead, it might bother them by tampering with their Web browser's default configuration. While the changes that the Practise Typing Tests Extension is meant to bring are not harmful, it is clear that most users would find them annoying since their purpose is to promote a 3rd-party website by setting it as the browser's default new tab page.
As the name of this extension suggests, it is meant to help users practice their typing speed by providing them with convenient access to typing tests and tools. However, it is important to mention that the resources used by the Practise Typing Tests Extension are not affiliated with the software's publisher and, instead, it simply refers users to 3rd-party typing tests, which you can find and use with a simple Web search.
The publisher of the Practise Typing Tests Extension is Polarity Technologies LTD, a company that we mention on a regular basis due to its connection with a large number of Potentially Unwanted Programs that claim to be convenient and useful when, in reality, all they do is to replace the default new tab page or search aggregator of Web browsers. The search engine that the Practise Typing Tests Extension promotes seems to work just fine, and users will be gleeful to find out that its search feature will redirect them to the Yahoo Search.
Since the Practise Typing Tests Extension is a Potentially Unwanted Program ,you should not feel obliged to remove it. However, if you are not happy with what it has to offer, then we advise you to do what is needed to ensure its full removal – either manually or with the help of specialized PC security software.
