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.

If you've opted to install the 'Easy Converter' extension by Polarity Technologies LTD recently, then you might have noticed that you've been introduced to an alternative new tab page, which is located at Search.heasyconverter.co. While changes of this sort are unsafe necessarily, it is likely that some users will find them annoying since most people would prefer to use their favorite new tab page instead of the Search.heasyconverter.co new tab that was brought to their browser by a dubious browser extension.
The Search.heasyconverter.co new tab delivers search results via the Yahoo Search and also hosts two links to popular online services that provide their users with the ability to convert various documents to DOC or PDF formats. While this is the functionality that 'Easy Converter' is meant to provide, you don't need to use this extension to access the document conversion tools that it promotes. These tools are hosted by 3rd-party services that you can visit and use without installing the 'Easy Converter' add-on or a 3rd-party software.
While using the 'Easy Converter' add-on is not unsafe, it is important to note that it is considered a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) just like the majority of Polarity Technologies' products. If you are interested in disposing of the Easy Converter and the Search.heasyconverter.co new tab, then you can deal with the issue by uninstalling 'Easy Converter' manually or running a suitable PC security scanner that will take care of the task automatically.
