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 Results Hub also claims to provide users with an improved browsing experience with advanced searching features. However useful as it may seem, The Results Hub is classified a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that exhibits adware symptoms. Adware developers use questionable delivery methods such as bundling to promote adware-related products such as The Results Hub. Consequently, users may inadvertently install ad-supported plugins such as The Results Hub. Users may also install The Results Hub from their official website at results-hub.com. If users look at their End Users License Agreement, it is explicitly stated that The Results Hub 'sets the default search settings in all of your compatible internet browsers' such as default search engine, homepage and startup pages. The Results Hub is also known to deliver intrusive online advertisements that may redirect users to third-party websites that may be considered questionable or promote such applications. Computer security experts advise users to remove The Results Hub from their computer with a legitimate anti-malware tool.
