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.

Tigo&Bully is a browser extension, which introduces users to a fun and entertaining game they can play from their Web browser directly. However, the installation of Tigo&Bully may not always occur with the help of fair software distribution techniques, and we've encountered several websites that host fraudulent pop-ups whose purpose is to convince users to install the Tigo&Bully extension. The pop-ups may include the message 'Add Extension In Order to keep you in safe browsing,' but it is possible that other fraudulent messages may be used to promote this software product.
Once Tigo&Bully has been installed successfully, the extension may change the way Google Chrome behaves significantly. It is not a surprise that Tigo&Bully has already been taken down from the official Chrome extension repository since the installation of this extension brings a fair amount of annoying issues. For example, Tigo&Bully appears to work as adware, and users who have it installed may end up seeing a fairly large number of unwanted ads while they browse their favorite websites. In addition to this, Tigo&Bully also may tamper with the default search aggregator and all searches executed through the address bar will take users to Yahoo Search, regardless of their previous settings.
If you have the Tigo&Bully present on your computer, then it is recommended to remove it as soon as possible to restore your Web browser's regular behavior. The removal of Tigo&Bully can be carried out either manually or with the assistance of a cyber security tool.
