Threat Metric
The Threat Meter is a malware assessment that SpywareRemove.com's research team is able to
give every identifiable malware threat. Our Threat Meter includes several criteria based off of
specific malware threats to value their severity, reach and volume. The Threat Meter is able to give
you a numerical breakdown of each threat's initial Threat Level, Detection Count, Volume Count,
Trend Path and Percentage Impact. The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic
breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for
each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in
its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to
remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.
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.

Sometimes misidentified as Sambreel adware or Lucky Leap adware, SuperWeb or Adware.SuperWeb is a similar adware program that displays advertisements in your browser while pretending to provide benefits to your Web-surfing experience. Malware researchers see no advantages inherent to allowing SuperWeb to remain on your computer, but they do note numerous drawbacks to SuperWeb's presence, including the non-consensual display of third-party advertisements and a generalized potential for degraded PC performance. Because SuperWeb, like almost all other adware programs, refuses to uninstall itself completely through normal software-removal procedures, the use of a good anti-malware program for removing SuperWeb is suggested.
SuperWeb: the Kryptonite to Your Browser Disguised as a Superhero
SuperWeb is a browser add-on that markets itself as an advantageous application but actually has minimal functions beyond those that are concerned with delivering its advertisements. Depending on the version of SuperWeb that's installed, you may see SuperWeb advertisements in any of several formats that include:
- Pop-up windows.
- Injected links that modify the text-based content of unrelated sites. These links tend to utilize specific key words or phrases to make their advertisements appear to be 'relevant' to your Web-browsing habits.
- Banners and other additional advertisements that are injected into unrelated sites, similar to the hyperlinks mentioned previously.
SpywareRemove.com malware researchers also caution that SuperWeb may modify your browser settings in various ways intended to enable its advertisement-delivery functions, update itself without your permission or even redirect your browser automatically.
Getting the Kind of Web that You Want without Any 'Super' Additions
SuperWeb never should be trusted to uninstall itself upon request, and SpywareRemove.com malware researchers urge the use of suitable anti-malware applications for deleting SuperWeb whenever its advertisements and other browser modifications are in sight. Particularly thorough system scans should be considered in cases where SuperWeb is installed without your consent being involved, which is estimated to be true for the majority of SuperWeb installations to date.
Although SuperWeb is a Potentially Unwanted Program without any serious benefits to your computer usage, malware experts don't classify SuperWeb as a threat not potentially damaging as a Trojan or other high-level PC threat. If you respond to SuperWeb properly and promptly, your computer shouldn't be damaged by temporary contact with SuperWeb. However, until SuperWeb is removed, contact with its advertisements should be minimized whenever it's practical for you to do so.
SuperWeb currently is anticipated to be compatible with several browsers, such as Google's Chrome, Mozilla's Firefox or Microsoft's own Internet Explorer. While Windows PCs are as usual, at the greatest risk for adware infections like SuperWeb, other operating systems also may be subjected to the SuperWeb advertising.
