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.

Troj/SWFDL-H is a version of the Poison Ivy Trojan that is used in web-based attacks linked to a 'zero day' hole in Internet Explorer to affect compromised Windows systems running Internet Explorer. Troj/SWFDL-H exploits the Java vulnerability that affects Internet Explorer (versions 6, 7, 8 and 9) and Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 and 2008. A remote code execution vulnerability exists in an Internet Explorer function to access an object that has been erased or improperly allocated. This vulnerability can compromise a system's memory in order to enable cybercriminals run their own code with the consent of the current user on Internet Explorer. The vulnerability can be remotely exploited using a website generated to target the security hole.
