Threat Metric
The Threat Meter is a malware assessment that SpywareRemove.com's research team is able to
give every identifiable malware threat. Our Threat Meter includes several criteria based off of
specific malware threats to value their severity, reach and volume. The Threat Meter is able to give
you a numerical breakdown of each threat's initial Threat Level, Detection Count, Volume Count,
Trend Path and Percentage Impact. The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic
breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for
each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in
its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to
remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.
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.

How do I get my money back from Windows Antivirus 2008
Thankyou very much for the free instructions on how to remove Windows Antivirus 2008.
thank you for the tips to get rid of windows 2008 antivirus.
AM I ABLE TO GET MY MONEY BACK FROM WINDOWS ANTIVIRUS 2008?
Don't think you can get your money back... My mother also got scammed, and she ended up losing 100 euros... Hope these tips help, because her pc is in big trouble..
i WAS UNDER THE EMPRESSION THAT WINDOW ANTIVIRUS 2008 WAS TO PREVENT VIRUSES AND SPYWARE INFECTION. IF NOT SO, HOW CAN i GET MY MONEY BACK
Finally someone who offers free advice and is not trying to infect your computer further. The spy hunter program is real and not more spy wear like windows anti virus 2008. It effectively removed not only the virus but other spy wear that was on my computer. For all you people that are still worried about buying this have no fear i still never bought the fake spy wear like some but this program effectively removed the infected and hidden files that the fake spy wear program created. Hopes this helps all computer users who cant believe the extent that virus go and how they are even able to use the windows logo in their product to fool users. So please fallow this advice and stop hackers from stealing your money now and download a spy wear program due to the fact that windows anti virus 2008 changes your administration tools and can only be removed with anti-spy wear software and not just with your add/remove program that is on your computer. P.S. i wrote this long response only because of the hours of searching on the internet for an correct answer not provided by a hacker so i hope this helps
I just spent a full dayflattening and rebuilding a laptop thanks to this virus. even after going through the manual steps to remove it, it still had several things in the registry and in hidden folders, it kept reinstalling itself on reboot. it also had an applet in the boot sector, that was how it was reinstalling, most likely, so the drive got flattened and totally rebuilt. I now have a faster, happier machine( and wife)
I have it, but I can't find the file. What can I do?
This is a very dangerous problem. It infected me through Symantec Corp. 10.2. I can't figure out how, but it did. I have a small network and this spread throughout my entire system for one pc. This also has changed it's name several times. The files they tell you to look for here are just SOME of the files that can come from this bug. Good luck to all.
chaps-please- simply install super anti spyware, run scan, restart. After boot-up, click start/run type regedit and click open. look in local_local machine and local_user for anything that has 'vnc' click on and delete, problem solved. A clients pc had the above issues, in fact it had 1516 infections. i fixed all the above inside 45 mins!!!
The Windows Anti-virus showed up on my screen a couple day's ago.Highly persistant.Ilooked thru 3 different site'd for answer's to removal.I may have picked up the wav.exe and wav.cpl information on an "odd" Enigma page which I now cannot find.
I found the two file's in "search".The wav.exe would not delete.I keep "file Assassin" on my PC.I used the "unlock" and the file was immediately released.The virus was then gone.I checked thru other mean's such as task to see if anything remained.
With all the mean's your site suggest's,as well as other site's,most every last vestige of the problem program is likely removable.---Thank's--Problem solved--
To remove it? D/L The Prg, install update if needed? Then restart in safe mode by hitting F8 and selecting safe mode once in log in as admin then after windows as loaded then make if you have a antivirus scanner? Disable it for the time being then do your scan and remove what it does find.
Then log out and into any additional accounts you have on the machine and repeat process/or if you only have the admin account? Simply restart your machine as normal and do another scan to be safe
