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 Wallpapers Toolbar is an ad-supported software developed by Mindspark Interactive Network. In the majority of cases, PC users may not enjoy the applications offered by this developer. Wallpapers Toolbar is no exception because it may cause annoying 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, the adware may manipulate the search results to increase traffic towards its partners. It may include various pop-ups, banners, interstitial ads and in-text ads for the same purpose. The toolbar may not be very helpful to its users. The Wallpapers Toolbar may contain sponsored links to Facebook, YouTube and Pinterest. There is also a weather widget. The built-in bookmark bars of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer offer the same function as the Wallpapers Toolbar but no side-effects, so you don't need to download it. What may disturb many people is the quantity of the new commercial materials. The adware may place them in the majority of Web pages. The marketing materials, which may offer various coupons and exclusive deals may seize a significant part of the screen. Their influence on the performance of the browsers may be negative. It is very likely for the operating speed to drop. If certain conditions are met, you may even experience annoying freezes. Some of the partner sites may be unreliable or even potentially threatening, so you should be careful. If an affiliate page informs you that you are infected or encourages you to update your Java/Adobe, you should leave immediately for security reasons. As long as you use suitable security software, you should be able to delete Wallpapers Toolbar easily.
