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.

SiteVillain is a clone of the most recent rogue anti-spyware program in the notorious WiniSoft family that created AntiAID. SiteVillain has the same functions as it's predecessor and typically uses trojans and drive-by downloads to enter the system. SiteVillain relies on misleading advertising to trick users into purchasing it's so-called "license". SiteVillain performs malicious actions to trick users into purchasing it, and to protect itself from removal. SiteVillain displays annoying pop-ups and fake system notifications, claiming the user's system is infected. SiteVillain then performs fake system scans which mark harmless files as threats, creating the illusion that the user's system is infected. SiteVillain will then urge the user to purchase it's "licensed version" in order to dispose of the threats. SiteVillain will block legitimate security software, hijack the Internet browser, and disable certain system services, such as System Restore, and Registry Editor. SiteVillain poses a high threat to any system and should be removed immediately.
