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.

RecipeKart is a browser extension that is part of Mindspark Interactive Network's portfolio of browser-enhancing utilities. As the name suggests, RecipeKart is meant to provide users with quick access to thousands of recipes that can guide them through the process of creating meals of all sorts. Apart from the recipe function, RecipeKart supposedly offers a meal plan, as well as a shopping list creator that can help users make sure that they'll get the necessary ingredients on their next trip to the store. Last but not least, RecipeKart offers to introduce users to a fresh new tab page that includes quick links to online recipes, meal planners, and nutritious advice, as well as a search field.
Using the new tab page that RecipeKart advertises shouldn't be an issue since it provides search results enhanced by Google, but users should keep in mind that the search engine result page (SEPR) is still hosted on a MyWay.com domain. If you've not heard of MyWay.com before, then you should know that this is a family of search engines that may often be promoted by some Mindspark products like RecipeKart and Your Daily Trailer.
The installation of RecipeKart is entirely optional, but some users might install this extension mistakenly, and may end up being surprised by the fact that their new tab page has been replaced with a search feature that includes hundreds of food recipes. If you'd like to restore your old new tab page and get rid of the recipe tips, then you should consider uninstalling RecipeKart. Since this program is not harmful, users should be able to remove it via their primary Web browser's extension manager.
