Threat Metric
The Threat Meter is a malware assessment that SpywareRemove.com's research team is able to
give every identifiable malware threat. Our Threat Meter includes several criteria based off of
specific malware threats to value their severity, reach and volume. The Threat Meter is able to give
you a numerical breakdown of each threat's initial Threat Level, Detection Count, Volume Count,
Trend Path and Percentage Impact. The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic
breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for
each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in
its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to
remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.
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.

I find that after all of these wonderful popups that come into my computer stating there is malware happened after I hit the wrong key and was taken to a porno website.
WinSercure Anti Virus along with Virus Ranger and Adnvanced Cleaner all seem, or so it appears to be promoting Porno as well as all of these different viruses that people are trying to avoid. I state this due to the fact that I had none of them until the unfortunate finding of a hidden porno site in an address and now all of your advertising is coming to me in the form of popups. This is my opinion so if I am wrong so be it. Frustration with these introverted mental midgets who have nothing better to do then mess with peoples compters to me are the lowest form of scum.
Thankfully I now have enough information to forward all of this to the consumer protection agency as well as the FBI so hopefully when they catch these people I can be there to see them put in jail for a long time.
My reasons will be expressed at that time.
This "wrong key" that you hit - it wasn't ENTER was it? More than likely you clicked on a link in an unsolicited email or on a dubious website (does "You need to download a player to watch this porn video in your browser - Click here" ring a bell?).
While not condoning the actions of the spyware people, I would suggest that it is you who is the "mental midget" for being so gullible as to click where you shouldn't and thus download the spyware. The fact that you claim to have had 3 different pieces of spyware indicates that you were stupid enough to have done this not once or twice, but three times, which beggars disbelief.
These spyware writers and distributors are certainly annoying but as for being the lowest form of scum, I would think that paedophiles such as yourself were much worse.
