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.

KuaiZip may not be a reliable tool that can help you compress or decompress your files. It is a Chinese Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that may not perform as expected. Moreover, it may cause unpleasant modifications to other applications like your browsers. It is true that the license of KuaiZip is free, but its developers may benefit financially from its existence. The PUP may inject additional commercial materials in the sites to transfer you to its partners. This way, the creators of this unreliable compression software may collect pay-per-click commissions. You should keep in mind that there is no way to know if all of the sponsored domains are safe. Some of them may try to deploy threats or other PUPs. You may even end up on platforms designed to gather information from the visitors exclusively. The targeted data may include your phone number and email address, which may result in spam. For this reason, the experts recommend you not to click on any pop-ups, banners, sponsored videos or in-text ads by KuaiZip.
Unfortunately, the mere existence of these commercial materials may cause trouble. The constant loading of multimedia ads may become a burden to your Web clients. As a result, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer may start working sluggishly. Your surfing sessions may get interrupted by some speed drops or freezes as well. KuaiZip may change some of the settings automatically. It may replace your homepage and default search provider with untrustworthy alternatives associated with manipulated results. There are two main methods for this PUP to enter your system. Some users may download it willingly from one of its official sites, which are kuaizip.com and kuaizip.com/en. The product description there states that KuaiZip is better than established programs like WinRAR, 7-zip and WinZip, which is a lie. If you cannot remember installing this PUP manually, then it probably came in a software bundle. You should consider deleting the suspicious application with a renowned anti-malware tool.
