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 Wallpapers Toolbar is a software developed by Mindspark Interactive Network, a software publisher whose applications may often access to useful features, but may also apply potentially unwanted functions. In the majority of cases, PC users may not enjoy the applications offered by this developer, and the Wallpapers Toolbar is no exception because it may cause changes to your browsers. Mindspark claims that this toolbar will improve your searches and let you choose a wallpaper for your homepage. However, most of the changes may benefit the company and not the user. For example, users who opt to use the MyWay.com search provider promoted by the PUP may end up seeing manipulated search results whose purpose is to increase traffic towards websites linked to Mindspark's partners.
If you'd like to remove the Wallpapers Toolbar, you can do so by uninstalling the browser extension under the same name or eliminating all associated add-ons or browser extensions. If manual removal is not your choice, then you can also opt to use an anti-malware scanner to resolve the issue for you.
