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.

The Your Speed Test Now is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), which is installed on computers in the form of a browser add-on that is compatible with Google Chrome only. As the name of the extension suggests, the Your Speed Test Now is meant to help users measure their Internet speed by introducing them to a convenient button, which takes them to an internet speed test page as soon as it is clicked. While this may sound useful, there are hundreds of Internet speed testing services, which you can find via a quick Web search, and they will not ask you to install 3rd-party browser add-ons to use them.
In addition to not offering anything unique, the Your Speed Test Now's installation also might end up bothering users by tampering with the Google Chrome's settings. The change in question only concerns Google Chrome's new tab page, which will be replaced by a website affiliated with the Your Speed Test Now. The website is not harmful, and it might serve you well, but you should not forget that the quality of the services the Your Speed Test Now's new tab offers might change in the near future. At the moment, the new tab page works as a search engine, which also hosts links to several Internet speed testing services.
Users who are not satisfied with the Your Speed Test Now's features should proceed to uninstall this add-on from their PCs. Since it is not harmful, it is possible to remove it with the help of Google Chrome's extension manager manually. Don't forget that you can achieve an even better result by disposing of the PUP with the assistance of a credible PC security software suite.
