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.

Searchgosearch.com is a search engine that appears to be a clone of Findgofind.com. Both of these search engines are not popular at all, and most of their visitors end up there because they use one of these two extensions – SearchGoSearch and FindGoFind. Both of these extensions used to be hosted on the Chrome Store page, but they are now removed. This is likely because their only purpose was to modify the Chrome's settings so that Searchgosearch.com and Findgofind.com would be set as the default new tab page.
Searchgosearch.com appears to function properly, and its search feature does bring out trustworthy search results. However, users who frequent this page might end up also seeing a relatively large number of advertisements, which promote various products, services and pages. While this behavior is certainly not threatening, most users would probably prefer to use a search engine that offers them a relatively ad-free experience.
Don't forget that using Searchgosearch.com or Findgofind.com is not harmful nor would it expose you to any suspicious content. However, if you wish to remove these websites from your Web browser and restore your usual new tab page, then you need to proceed and remove the extensions that brought the unwanted changes. Removing ‘SearchGoSearch' or ‘FindGoFind' from Chrome can be carried out via the settings panel, or by using a credible security software suite.
