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.

Up Pro is a browser extension that promises to help you shop better. This tool claims that it will assist you by checking if any site offers the products you are viewing at a cheaper price. In theory, this activity should make you spend less money on your purchases. In reality, Up Pro is a pretty annoying adware, and the majority of clients may not appreciate its presence. Up Pro isn't one of these programs that PC users download voluntarily. If you type its name on Google, you will notice many other pieces of software that are named similarly, but there would be no sign of Up Pro. The adware relies on the notorious "bundling" method, which means that it may arrive as an additional component of some freeware. A part of the users may agree to install it tempted by the nice description. Those who perform the setup process through the "Quick" menu, however, may not be informed about the presence of the adware at all. Once Up Pro gets access to your PC, it may worsen the performance of Google Chrome, may generate intrusive pop-ups, banners and interstitial ads, and place them on many different websites. Some of these commercial materials try to obtain information. For example, they may inform you that you have won some reward and need to type your email address or phone number to receive it. The majority of ads will take you towards some unknown e-commerce pages with unverified legitimacy. On the other side, some ads may load potentially dangerous platforms, so you should be very careful. Up Pro also may cause some minor performance issues. The advice of the experts is to use advanced security software to delete this adware.
