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.

PriceGotLower is an add-on that presents itself as a helpful shopping assistant. The developers of this questionable software claim that it will improve the shopping experience of its clients. The generated offers and deals should presumably promote various cheap products. However, PriceGotLower is typical adware, and its true intentions are not to save the user some money. On the contrary, the creators of this unreliable tool expose the person to many ads with only one purpose – to profit from pay-per-click revenues. The presence of the adware may be surprising to some people because it travels together with other cost-free applications. This process, which is known as "bundling", is widely used to deliver software with limited utility or some highly unpleasant features. PriceGotLower inserts plenty of banners, pop-ups, in-text ads and interstitial ads in the webpages. Although the commercial materials are often unrequested, most of the user complaints are not related to their content. Instead, people are unhappy with the side effects of these ads – such as hampered performance of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. It is possible to notice some freezes, crashes or in the best-case scenario – random redirections. What some people may not expect is that some of the sponsored pages may be dangerous. To maintain your system safe and your Internet clients reliable, you should delete PriceGotLower with a special anti-malware program.
