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.

Searchencrypt.com is a low-quality search engine, which supposedly helps preserve the user's search queries private, therefore reducing the number of targeted advertisements they see while browsing the Web. While features like these can be useful, the same result can be achieved by simply using your Web browser's incognito mode to search the Web. In addition to this,
Searchencrypt.com also might also annoy users due to the browser hijacking software it is likely to be linked to. The Searchencrypt.com hijacker might set this page as either the default homepage or new tab page of the user's Web browser, therefore ensuring that they will visit it on a daily basis against their will.
Using Searchencrypt.com is certainly not an issue that you need to be worried about. This search engine seems to provide credible results, but it also contains some advertisements and sponsored results, so try not to get misled by these. However, if you believe that Searchencrypt.com was added to your Web browser's settings automatically, then we certainly suggest that you run a credible PC security tool immediately to identify and eliminate the intrusive browser hijacker responsible for the change.
Usually, removing the browser hijacker should revert the changes it made to the browser's configuration automatically. However, in case it doesn't, you might need to remove Searchencrypt.com from your new tab or homepage settings manually and replace it with your favorite start page.
