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.

IE Defender is a rogue anti-spyware program due to its deceptive and aggressive advertising practices. IE Defender and its marketing affiliates are distributing and installing IE Defender's anti-spyware program through a download which is bundled with a trojan triggered by a browser helper object (BHO). Many of these trojan bundled downloads are located in sites which offer a "video codec" to be able to view free adult entertainment videos.
After your PC is infected with the trojan bundled download, it keeps showing up a pop-up stating "NOTICE: Your system is infected and your computer performance is not at the highest level. Full system optimization will greatly increase your computer's performance and prevent data loss". When you click on the popup, it will direct your IE to IEDefender.com to download IE Defender's anti-spyware program.
In addition, the Trojan which came bundled from either IE Defender and/or its affiliates hijacks your search engines, such as Google, Yahoo and MSN, and displays a fake error message within your search results claiming that your system is infected and offering to buy the IE Defender program. Once you click on this fake error message you will be redirected to IE Defender's home site where you will be tricked into buying IE Defender's anti-spyware application.
