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:	51

Windows 7 Internet Security 2012 acts like an up-to-date and Windows 7-specialized product, but its true origins are much seedier - Windows 7 Internet Security 2012 is a copy of other PC threats from the Rogue:Win32/FakeRean family with only a small name change to make it appear as a brand-new program. FakeRean-based anti-malware programs like Windows 7 Internet Security 2012 are well-known by SpywareRemove.com malware researchers as PC threats that use a range of attacks to convince victims that a teeming army of Trojans, keyloggers and other malicious files are already on your computer. However, Windows 7 Internet Security 2012 doesn't actually try to determine if a PC threat is on your hard drive and can only create warning messages with semi-randomized contents.

Along with the fake messages, Windows 7 Internet Security 2012 will also launch itself automatically when Windows starts, and may also re-launch itself if you open another .exe file (a feature that has been added to recent variants of FakeRean scamware).
