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 videoJunkie Search is a browser utility, which also may be encountered under the name 'the videoJunkie Search.' According to the official Chrome Store page, this tool is meant to give users the ability to find online clips and even movies that can be watched from their Web browser directly, free of charge. However, users who are attracted by the offer and opt to install the videoJunkie Search tool may soon realize that the promises they heard are not entirely true.
In fact, the installation of the videoJunkie Search only brings one noticeable change to Google Chrome's behavior – it replaces the user's search aggregator with Movie.eanswers.com. While this search page appears to be safe, it is important to mention that it is not as reputable as Google, Bing, Yahoo, and other search services. This means that its results may vary, and its visitors might be exposed to certain ads and marketing content that they wouldn't have to endure if they opt to uninstall the videoJunkie Search.
Since the videoJunkie Search may not offer anything of value and it appears that its only purpose is to boost the traffic of Movie.eanswers.com, we have no choice but to recommend its removal. Both the videoJunkie Search and videoJunke Home are categorized as Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs), which means that they are not unsafe and can be dealt with via manual removal.
