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.

Threat Level:	2/10
Infected PCs:	94

Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013 is a fake anti-malware application that displays misleading and outright inaccurate security information as its sales pitch to make you purchase a registration key for its software. Because Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013 uses erroneous pop-up warnings and system scans alongside such dangerous attacks as browser redirects and efforts to block other programs arbitrarily, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers consider Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013 and scamware like Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013 (other members of the FakeRean family) to be a danger to your computer, rather than a security benefit. After disabling Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013 by whatever means are necessary, you should use appropriate anti-malware products to remove Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013 and any other malware that also may have been installed in the initial attacks that compromised your PC.

Why the Internet is Anything but Secure with Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013 Infesting It

Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013 is part of a sustained campaign of scamware development on the part of FakeRean's coding team, which has churned out a remarkably large number of variants over the last few years. Sub-groups of FakeRean, such as Multirogue 2012 and Multirogue 2013, often display minor differences in their behavior or aesthetics, but always lack any ability to detect or remove real malware from your PC. In addition to Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013, other recently-identified members of FakeRean include Antivirus 2008 Pro, Antivirus XP 2008, Windows Antivirus 2008, Vista Antivirus 2008, PC Clean Pro, Antivirus Pro 2009, Rogue.Vista Antivirus 2008, AntiSpy Safeguard, ThinkPoint, Spyware Protection 2010, Internet Antivirus 2011, Palladium Pro, XP Anti-Virus 2011, CleanThis, XP Security 2012, XP Home Security 2012 and AntiVirus PRO 2015.

SpywareRemove.com malware experts have found that most recent FakeRean-installing attacks have a tendency to use malicious websites in conjunction with Blackhole Exploit Kits, which can be configured to exploit vulnerabilities that are present on multiple types (and versions) of software. Popular targets for BEK include baseline Windows programs, Adobe software and Java, which can be exploited to install Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013 without your consent as soon as you access a malicious site unprotected.

However, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers also warn that you may encounter Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013 by other means, such as malicious advertisements that promote Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013 as a security product or offer fake browser updates.

Getting Pro About Removing the Security Hazard of Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013

Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013 may look similar to an actual anti-malware product, but always displays fraudulent system information regarding infections, program malfunctions and live attacks (such as nonconsensual attempts to access your Registry). In addition to its functions as a rogue anti-malware product, Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013 also may cause other issues as SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have outlined in the following summary:

Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013 can use multiple methods of blocking harmless programs, with an eye to blocking applications that are related to Windows maintenance or security. Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013 also may falsely claim that these programs are infected or damaged to justify this behavior.
Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013 also may hijack your browser and redirect it from safe sites towards fake error pages. Once again, Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013's preferred targets include security-oriented ones such as the domains of popular anti-virus companies.
Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013 will make hidden modifications to various system settings through alterations to your Registry. These changes can disable system notifications for the UAC, terminate your firewall's security features and cause other issues that make your computer vulnerable to being attacked.

Of course, as scamware, Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013 should be deleted instead of purchased. To make sure that Win 7 Internet Security Pro 2013 is deleted in its entirety, SpywareRemove.com malware experts recommend that you use suitable anti-malware products.
