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.

VSnapshotTool is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), which appears to be a product of the Chinese-based company ShenZhen Xintong Technology co,.Ltd. Their name is also linked to another PUP that goes by the name Lite PDF Reader, and we talked about it just a few days ago due to its dubious behavior that some users might find to be slightly annoying. The situation with VSnapshotTool appears to be similar, and it is not a surprise that this program is being detected as a PUP by multiple popular PC security software suites.
While VSnapshotTool may not exhibit any obviously suspicious behavior, an analysis shows that this software establishes connections to various IP addresses constantly, and it also uses various ports to establish these connections. However, it is unknown whether it does this with a legitimate purpose or its authors had something else in mind. Often, software that connects to remote hosts silently may be used to inject ads into the user's Web browser.
While VSnapshotTool does not pose a direct threat to your online safety and information, you might want to keep your computer free from software that anti-virus product vendors have added to their database. If you are interested in removing VSnapshotTool, then you should know that this task can be executed either manually or with the assistance of a trustworthy PC security utility.
