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.

The presence of ads marked as 'Powered by Sonic Train' in your browsers is sufficient proof that there is adware in your system. Although this application is very small in size, it may still cause you significant issues while you are online. Sonic Train comes as an add-on that may attach firmly towards all available browsers. If you wonder why this adware has such an odd name, the explanation is simple: its developers don't want you to find any information about it online. Their intentions are such because the majority of people are not satisfied with this price-comparing add-on. There are several reasons for the negative user’s feedback, which begin with the distribution method of Sonic Train. This adware is not among the programs that people download voluntarily. Even if you wish to do so, you will most likely be unable to find any site that hosts it. The questionable plugin travels together with other free applications – an approach called 'bundling.' As a result, the users who skip the details may agree to install it unknowingly. The second reason for the lack of appreciation is that the newly generated pop-ups, banners and eye-catching animations tend to be irritating. Whenever you launch Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer and wherever you go, you may notice the same commercial materials. What is more, the ads may be unreliable. They may promote suspicious surveys that try to obtain your email address or phone number. They also may point you towards potentially harmful pages. While the developers of Sonic Train gather their referral commissions, your browsers may start working too slow. All you need to do to remove the adware is to perform an in-depth system scan with suitable security software.
