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.

The UnzipApp Toolbar, considered as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), is speculated to change the homepage of the user to a customized version of http://hp.myway.com and welcome users to benefit from extended search options. The UnzipApp Toolbar that is developed by Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. The UnzipApp Toolbar was configured to work only if the user has agreed to use http://hp.myway.com as their home page. The customized version of http://hp.myway.com had useful links to services like www.zipshare.com, pdfcompressor.com, and www.files2zip.com but UnZipp took over the user's Internet settings, and that was not welcomed. The behavior of the UnzipApp Toolbar was the reason for security scanners to detect the program as Toolbar.MyWebSearch.AO, Win32:Mindspark-A [PUP] and W32/Mywebsearch.K.gen!Eldorado. Researchers note that apps like UnzipApp may leave residual data that can be cleaned with a reliable anti-spyware tool.
