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.

Yeadesktop.com is a poorly stylized page that hosts several interesting things that accompany a simple search field. Before providing details about the content hosted there, it is important to mention that users may stumble upon Yeadesktop.com while using their Web browser even if they had not heard of this page ever before. This may happen because Yeadesktop.com uses browser hijacking software to modify a Web browser's settings so that its new tab page and homepage will be set to Yeadesktop.com. Naturally, this does not happen without installing the hijacking software, and that's why users who experience this issue should think carefully if they've installed software that may have brought the hijacker to their computers recently.
In its current state, Yeadesktop.com includes a collection of quick links to popular websites, as well as an automatic scrolling Twitter feed, which claims to provide users with funny jokes and quotes. Last but not least, below the search bar uses will find a collection of free online games that can be played from their Web browser directly. However, the most important part of every search page appears to be dysfunctional in the case of Yeadesktop.com – entering any search term in the search bar and hitting the 'Search' button does absolutely nothing.
If you see Yeadesktop.com when you launch your Web browser, then it is strongly recommended to take the required actions to uninstall the software that brought this program to your computer. This task may be difficult to carry out manually so that it is a good idea to put this chore in the hands of a skilled anti-malware scanner that will automate the removal process.
