Posted: March 5, 2013
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.

PWS:Win32/Zbot.AHD is a Trojan that enables attackers to gain unauthorized remote access and control of an infected computer, and steals a victim's personal information, such as passwords. PWS:Win32/Zbot.AHD is generated by kits known as 'Zeus' which are bought and sold on the Internet black market. PWS:Win32/Zbot.AHD is spread and installed on the attacked PC user's computer by other malware threats, via spam email attachments or as a payload for exploit kits such as blackhole, detected as Blacole, and for exploits that include Exploit:Java/CVE-2012-0507, Exploit:Java/CVE-2012-1723, Exploit:Java/CVE-2013-0422, and Exploit:Win32/Pdfjsc. When executed, PWS:Win32/Zbot.AHD creates a modified copy of itself with a randomly-generated file name in the specific location. PWS:Win32/Zbot.AHD then makes registry modifications to assure that this copy is launched each time you start Windows.
