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 Track Packages Online is a browser extension maintained and distributed by Polarity Technologies LTD and Eightpoint Technologies LTD – two software publishers whose names may often be linked to various browser utilities that may perform questionable activities once installed. The case with the Track Packages Online is not that different, and multiple anti-virus product vendors have this software identified as a 'Potentially Unwanted Program' (PUP).
The Track Packages Online is promoted as an all-in-one tool that can be used to track orders from various delivery companies such as UPS, USPS, DHL, FedEx, etc. quickly. The tracking option, however, is not created or maintained by the software's publisher. Instead, the Track Packages Online may work by modifying the default new tab page of the Web browser and introducing a new website that features a search field, weather widget, popular page bookmarks, and a search option for orders and packages. Any input entered in the latter field will simply refer users to a 3rd-party page that can be used to the Track Packages Online. In short, the Track Packages Online does not offer anything unique and, instead, it simply refers users to free services available on the Web.
Since the Track Packages Online does not offer anything useful and may redirect users to a new tab page that they are not used to, there aren't any reasons to keep this software installed. The removal of the Track Packages Online is a task that can be carried out manually by using the Web browser's integrated extension manager.
