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.

Themobideal Adware displays advertisements in your Web browser and generally is associated with installation methods that install software without your consent (such as concealed freeware bundles and/or drive-by-downloads). As adware, Themobideal Adware doesn't have any benefits for your Web-browsing experience and may harm your browser's stability or expose you to potentially unsafe Web content, which SpywareRemove.com malware experts consider just cause for recommending deleting Themobideal Adware immediately. While Themobideal Adware's attacks are especially associated with unwanted pop-up advertisements, they also may be implemented through various other methods, all of which are best removed by appropriate anti-malware tools or a PC security professional.

Why Themobideal isn't the Ideal Add-On for Your Browser

Themobideal Adware is an add-on designed to display advertisements without your consent and without any way to disable them. While Themobideal Adware may claim that its advertisements can provide shopping or search engine-related advantages for your Web-browsing experience, SpywareRemove.com malware experts note that Themobideal Adware's 'features' only can be considered drawbacks when viewed honestly. Themobideal Adware attacks are particularly associated with the Chrome Web browser, although Themobideal Adware may be functional in other browsers besides Chrome.

SpywareRemove.com malware experts have noted that Themobideal Adware attacks may include the following formats:

Pop-up advertisements.
Advertising links that are injected into the text of unrelated sites.
Additional advertisements displayed alongside your search results.

Themobideal Adware's advertising functions have been confirmed to occur on unrelated websites arbitrarily and are fully functional in even the latest versions of Windows. However, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have not found any indications of Themobideal Adware being compatible with Linux spinoffs or Mac-brand OSes.

Making Sure You Get the Best Deal Out of Your End of a Themobideal Adware Infection

Since Themobideal Adware may be problematic for your browser's performance, displays hindersome Web content and doesn't benefit your browser in any way, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers can't think of any justification for failing to delete Themobideal Adware as soon as Themobideal Adware is noticed. Anti-malware software should be considered the preferable tools for removing Themobideal Adware and making sure that all of its browser changes are completely reversed. An incomplete deletion may result in Themobideal Adware's advertisements continuing to be displayed even if all other signs of the Themobideal Adware infections have been removed.

Themobideal Adware does not promote itself through the normal channels by which benign browser add-ons are discovered and installed. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers suspect that Themobideal Adware is being installed through other freeware programs' installation packages, but secondary PC threats also may be involved in Themobideal Adware's distribution. Being careful to stay clear of potentially dangerous Web content is your best protection against Themobideal Adware, although most relevant security products also should be able to detect Themobideal Adware upon its installation.
