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.

Total Protect 2011 is a fake security and anti-virus program that pretends to guard your PC against infections, but SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have found that Total Protect 2011 has no real PC threat detection or removal features at all. Rather than creating accurate warning messages and detecting real infections, Total Protect 2011 will create fake warnings and detect imaginary viruses, keyloggers, worms and other types of harmful software. Although Total Protect 2011 claims that Total Protect 2011's trial version is free, Total Protect 2011 will persist in trying to get you to spend money on Total Protect 2011 until you've given up or deleted Total Protect 2011 with legitimate anti-malware software. Because Total Protect 2011 and Total Protect 2011's website have also been linked to browser hijackers, you should be careful to scan your PC for infections that might be hiding on your hard drive, if you come into contact with either of them.

Keeping strict browser security settings, such as disabling scripts for websites that you don't trust, can help you to avoid a Total Protect 2011 installation attack, since Total Protect 2011 has been known to use fake online scans and warnings to install itself. Keeping as far away from Total Protect 2011's website, Totalsolutionantivirus.com, as possible is also an ideal state of affairs, although SpywareRemove.com malware experts also note that no defense can be one hundred percent perfect against a possible Total Protect 2011 infection.

Exposure to either Total Protect 2011 or Total Protect 2011's site may result in your PC being infected by a related browser hijacker that redirects you to Totalsolutionantivirus.com or blocks legitimate PC security websites.
