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.

Spyhunter 2.9 detected, removed it, but it keeps coming back -- I would run the spyhunter, delete the parasites, reboot the machine and run spyhunter again, Spyhunter would find this "think-adz", trojan vundo and trojan downloader agent -afg. Spyhunter found it, eradicated it but it always comes back. Any ideas? Jim
jim, The most dangerous parasite from your list is trojan vundo and it seems, that it adds ThinkAdz. If you purchased the SpyHunter generate the support log and send it to our support. They will solve your problem as soon as possible.
I have this think-adz thing, and i've tried searching for it but i can't find it. I know it's there because whenever I so much as run a program it loads this think-adz page. Any help?
