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.

The My Television XP is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), which is compatible with popular Web browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. The My Television XP is promoted as a great utility that allows users to view sports channels, news channels, and other TV programs directly from their Web browser via a live stream. However, the installation of the My Television XP can only be completed if the user agrees to certain terms and conditions like, for example, authorizing the My Television XP to modify the browser's settings by introducing a new tab page and homepage that are affiliated with the My Television XP.
While the changes that the My Television XP brings are certainly not harmful, some users are likely to be upset by the fact that a 3rd-party application wants their Web browser's configuration. The website that the My Television XP is meant to promote serves as a simple search engine, which also hosts links to popular TV streaming services that may provide the user with the features that the My Television XP promised in the first place. However, you should keep in mind that all of the TV streaming services that the My Television XP promotes can be used by simply visiting their official pages, therefore making it unnecessary to install 3rd-party applications like the one in question. In addition to this, the page that the My Television XP promotes is publicly accessible by loading Search.mytelevisionxp.com, therefore giving you access to its features without using the add-on linked to it.
The removal of the My Television XP is not mandatory since this software does not pose a threat to your privacy or files. However, if you do not need the dubious browser add-ons that force you to use an alternative new tab page, then we advise you to take the required steps to dispose of the My Television XP. This can be accomplished either manually or with the help of an up-to-date PC security scanner.
