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.

SafePCKit is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), which you may see being advertised as a great PC optimization utility that is capable of resolving Registry problems, fixing system errors, and other issues that might cause problems with a system's performance or stability. While all of this may sound like something great to have at your disposal, the reality about SafePCKit is slightly different. Users who opt to install this tool might find out that SafePCKit is not able to carry out any optimizations unless the user opts to purchase a license key, which costs either $29.97 or $45.94. The free download offered on SafePCKit's website is only able to scan the system and generate a report with recommended optimizations. Often, these reports also might include exaggerated results to trick users into thinking that they need to purchase the software to apply the recommended fixes urgently.
While SafePCKit is not harmful, having it on your computer may not bring you any benefits. Instead, it might end up annoying you by spamming you with messages claiming that you need to purchase a license to optimize the computer constantly. The recommended thing to do in this case is to uninstall SafePCKit, which can be completed either via manual removal or by using a suitable anti-malware tool. Also, please keep in mind that the installation of unreliable PC optimization software might not be a good idea since it might, sometimes, end up causing more trouble than you'd expect.
