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.

% 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.

i cannot access my start menu whwn the XL guard i running. And its running all the time. How do i get rid of it then?
This is a clever (and malicious) virus!!! I had to go onto another computer to have Google search for this instruction. Whenever I searched for "XLGuard" "spyware" "virus" or any similiar keywords, the browser will just remain idle... as if I've never clicked on the SEARCH button. I'm downloading this spyware removal to my flash drive (... on my desktop at work). When I get home, I'll load it onto my home system and see if that will work.
Thanks.
