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.

Threat Level:	10/10
Infected PCs:	35

Windows Problems Solution is the successor to the Windows Optimal Settings rogue scanner and has nothing to offer but the same fake error alerts, useless scans and broad-ranged security issues for your computer. Since Windows Problems Solution will very frequently be installed by a Trojan, the ability to notice and avoid this opening infection will save you plenty of trouble. Even if your computer is infected by this rogue software, removing Windows Problems Solution is far from a hopeless task, and should be done quickly before complications arise.

Windows Problems Solution Infection Sings the Same Old Song

Unlike legitimate scanners, Windows Problems Solution knows you wouldn't want to download it willingly. In most cases, Windows Problems Solution uses a secretive Trojan-based infection to get on your computer. Windows Problems Solution has been reported to be delivered by the same type of Trojan responsible for delivering many other rogue programs, the Microsoft Security Essentials Alert Malware infection. You'll see this infection as a fake Windows alert, as follows:

Microsoft Security Essentials Alert
Privacy violation threat detected.
Your personal data may be disclosed to a third party.
Microsoft Security Essentials detected potential threats that might compromise your privacy or damage your computer. Your access to these items may be suspended until you take an action. Click 'Show Details' to learn more.

Threat prevention solution found
Security system analysis has revealed critical file system vulnerability caused by severe malware attacks.
Risk of system files infection:
The detected vulnerability may result in unauthorized access to private information and hard drive data with a serious possibility of irreversible data loss and unstable PC performance. To remove the malware please run a full system scan. Press 'OK' to install the software necessary to initiate system files check. To complete the installation process please reboot your computer.

Avoiding following the instructions in these messages will save you a good bit of trouble, since these fake alerts only serve the purpose of getting you to install rogue software. The rogue program installed may be one of dozens, with Windows Problems Solution being no worse or better than the rest. You may also see other variations on the above messages, but the gist is always the same - your computer is supposedly infected and requires installation of a product to resume normal function. Instead of doing what the Trojan tells you to and weighing yourself down with Windows Problems Solution, reboot into Safe Mode and immediately scan for and remove the Trojan.

The Importance of Solving the 'Windows Problems Solution' Problem

A system infected by Windows Problems Solution or a rogue product similar to it will inevitably send out constant threatening error messages about infections that aren't really there. Its offers of scanning your system are equally fake and will always show a large number of infections both successfully removed and remaining. Since Windows Problems Solution is very far from being useful or honest software, you should remove Windows Problems Solution, and above all else, avoid giving money to the criminals responsible for it.

In addition to all this groundless nagging, Windows Problems Solution is pretty likely to harm your system directly in different ways. These problems are not usually immediately fatal to your computer, but will often grow worse in time, which is why deleting Windows Problems Solution is so warranted as a quick response.

Your registry file will be warped so that Windows Problems Solution runs along with Windows unless you use unusually secure boot options such as Safe Mode. Windows Problems Solution will not give you the option to change this setting.
Windows Problems Solution will initially take over your desktop, preventing you from accessing your normal interface after a reboot. You may be able to close Windows Problems Solution after its opening display, but this can sometimes be difficult

Your programs will crash or never run at all, usually due to Windows Problems Solution falsely announcing them as being infected. Programs necessary for using your computer properly like Windows Task Manager and real security software are almost certain to be targeted by these attacks.
Your web browser may exhibit error messages when visiting websites that ordinarily work perfectly, show pop-up advertising spontaneously, or redirect itself towards Windows Problems Solution's website or other malicious sites.
Your computer may suffer serious slowdown and other performance issues, since Windows Problems Solution and other rogue products invariably tend to gobble up more memory and hard drive space than they could possibly need if they were legitimate software.

The longer one puts off removing Windows Problems Solution, the less likely it is that your computer will get away from the experience unscathed. Repel the Windows Problems Solution invader when you first see it for optimal chances of resuming a happy and healthy computer-using experience.
