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 SpeedUp PC 2018 is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by GlobalSysTools. The SpeedUp PC 2018 is advertised as a great speedup utility, which will not just boost the computer's performance but also will resolve various issues and conflicts to improve the stability of the computer. The SpeedUp PC 2018 claims to be a state-of-the-art utility, which will optimize the Windows Registry, help users control the programs that are started alongside Windows, as well as manage their Web browser add-ons. While this sounds convenient, the latter two features are obsolete, since both Windows and modern Web browsers already offer such utilities out-of-the-box.
Another issue that users who wish to use the SpeedUp PC 2018 might encounter is that this tool does not complete any PC optimization operations until it has been registered. As you might have already guessed, the SpeedUp PC 2018 requires a premium license to perform all of the actions it is being advertised for. Of course, this does not come for free, and users will not be able to take advantage of any of the SpeedUp PC 2018's 'goodies' unless they pay up.
While the SpeedUp PC 2018 might be somewhat useful, it is certainly not worth it to pay money for a dubious application that has been tagged as a Potentially Unwanted Program by several anti-virus product vendors. However, this program is not unsafe, and if you have already paid for it, there is no reason to remove it. However, if you have it running on your computer and you do not plan to pay for the full version, then we suggest that you remove the SpeedUp PC 2018 either manually or with a trustworthy PC security product.
