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 SportCenter Search Extension (also named SportCenter Home and SportCenter New Tab) is a dubious browser extension, which claims to give users the ability to find out the latest and most intriguing sports news from their Web browser directly. In addition to the news and articles, the SportCenter Search Extension is also meant to give its users the ability to access free online sports TV channels, therefore allowing them to watch events live. While all of this may sound useful, the truth is that the SportCenter Search Extension is not as great as its description makes it sound. Instead of offering all of these features, it will simply replace your default search aggregator with Movie.eanswers.com, therefore changing the way Chrome will search the Web.
The search engine works reliably, and users should continue to see legitimate results that are not mixed with unwanted ads, sponsored results, or other content that is unnecessary. However, this should not take your attention away from the fact that the SportCenter Search Extension does not offer anything of value, and you'd probably be better off not having it on your PC.
If you wish to eliminate the SportCenter Search Extension and revert the changes it brought, then you can do this via Google Chrome's settings menu manually. Also, since the SportCenter Search Extension is detected as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by many PC security scanners, your favorite security application also might be able to assist you with this PUP's removal.
