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.

Wmfg.art is a website used to run a fraudulent scheme whose goal is to hijack your Web browser's notifications. The sites achieve this by displaying fake prompts telling you to click 'Allow' to confirm your age and identity and continue browsing. However, interacting with the button in question will result in subscribing to Wmfg.art's notifications. If this is allowed to happen, the website will begin to abuse the feature to flood your Web browser with advertisements.
Seeing browser notifications is not always a problem, but in the case of the Wmfg.art, it can turn out to be a major issue. This is owed to the fact that Wmfg.art does not use the feature to be helpful or entertaining – instead, it wants to use it to display paid advertisements used to generate revenue for Wmfg.art's administrators.
Needless to say, keeping your Web browsing experience ad-free is recommended, and this is why the Wmfg.art notifications need to be disabled. To stop them from bothering you, you need to load your browser's settings and remove Wmfg.art's permissions to use notifications.
