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.

Seen On Screen is the name of a suspicious adware that may cause various issues with your browsers. Seen On Screen promises you assistance with finding information regarding the movie industry. Allegedly, this tool should give you fast access to featured trailers, professional reviews and news about the lifestyle of celebrities. However, this unreliable program may rely mainly on the 'bundling' method for its distribution, so you may not have seen this description at all. It is confirmed that some third-party free applications have included Seen On Screen into their installers. Thus, you may load the adware without being properly informed. The questionable application comes in the form of a web extension that may be compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer.
After Seen On Screen appears in the add-on managers of your browsers, this adware may cause various changes in their configuration. For example, Seen On Screen may switch your preferred homepage to Search.mysearch.com. You should not use this search engine because the results that you may see will likely lead to partner sites. Some of the results may not meet your criteria while others may even host threatening software. This adware also may inject series of pop-ups, banners, interstitial ads and sponsored videos in various websites. These advertisements may quickly become a major setback because they tend to be intrusive, and you may be unable to disable them manually
It will not be surprising if the new commercial materials worsen the functionality of your browsers because they may consume a lot of resources. From a security point of view, it may not be a good idea to click on the sponsored links even if they attract your attention. All in all, Seen On Screen is designed to benefit its developers and not you, so you should take measures to delete it.
