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.

WinRepair Pro is not an application that can repair broken Windows files or improve the performance of your PC in any way. It is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), which may cause various problems. Once this questionable tool enters, it will start performing bogus system scans at random intervals. The process starts automatically and cannot be disabled manually. You may notice that it takes suspiciously little time. For less than a minute, you may be informed that your PC is in terrible condition. WinRepair Pro usually detects hundreds of errors and harmful files. In reality, your system is most likely clean and there may be no issues with the registries whatsoever. The PUP intentionally deceives you to make you buy its full license. If you click on the 'Fix issues' button, you will be transferred to the purchase page. It may claim that you will receive a substantial discount if you upgrade to the paid version immediately. The end price is usually in the $30-$40 range. Since WinRepair Pro cannot fulfill the promised functions, you should not agree to pay. Unfortunately, the unrequested and fabricated scanning processes will certainly persist. The official product page tries to deceive the visitor that WinRepair Pro is legit by mentioning the name of Microsoft. The developers of the PUP state that it uses the same technologies as the company behind the Windows operating systems, but it is a blatant lie. Another problem is that the site doesn't mention that the full version of WinRepair Pro is paid. As a result, some users may assume they are downloading freeware only to encounter the constant warnings to upgrade later. In some cases, this suspicious system optimization tool travels in a set with other programs. The best way to stop the fabricated security alerts is to delete WinRepair Pro with credible security software.
