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.

Troj/Agent-URP is a Trojan included in fake RIAA emails spreading online. Spam emails pretend to be messages from RIAA. Malicious emails display a catchy header: 'Notification of Copyright Violation' and tell a recipient that RIAA has found his/her IP address delivering copyrighted material. Therefore, a recipient is asked to go through a given attachment, which allegedly contains the details about illegal Internet-traffic and how he/she will be blamed for copyright violation and put under usual legitimate procedures.
Creators of bogus RIAA emails deceptively try to get the recipient to open the attachment that includes Troj/Agent-URP, which automatically makes a telephone call to Russia apparently in fear that the recipient may get sued. The fraudulent email is further flawed because when a recipient does anything unlawful, it's his ISP, which will contact him/her to report that certain party had filed a case against him/her. A most likely way of reporting the PC user will be via authorized postal correspondence. This isn't the case with the fake 'Notification of Copyright Violation' email. Therefore, the main thing is to simply delete these types of scam emails and run a complete PC system scan with a reputable anti-virus program.
