Top 10 Malware Threats The "Top 10 Malware Threats" chart shows real-time data on the top computer threats in the world. The data is updated daily and the chart represents the top 10 infections based on number of infected PCs. Each field listed on the "Top 10 Malware Threats" chart are as follows:

Rank: The current ranking of each malware threat between 1 and 10.

Malware: The name of the malware threat. Some of the malware names may be that of a specific malware name, filename or website.

Infected PCs: The total number of confirmed and suspected cases of malware threats detected on infected PCs retrieved from diagnostic report logs of computers scanned by SpyHunter's Spyware Scanner.

Volume: The number of confirmed and suspected cases of malware threats infecting PCs per day. Any given malware threat can have a considerably high or low volume indicator based on how "infectious" a threat is. One threat can have a high ranking but low volume because it may currently lay dormant but has already infected a large number of PCs. A high volume threat is usually very active but may or may not have infected a large number of PCs.

Percentage (%) Change: The daily percent change in the frequency of infected PCs of a malware threat. The formula for the percentage change is based on the current trend of each malware threat. When a malware threat moves up the list, then its percentage is calculated on its recent gain in the rankings. If a malware threat moves down, then the percentage reflects its rate of decline on the "Top 10 Malware Threats" chart. If a malware threat is stagnant, the percentage remains in its current state.

Trend: The level of movement a specific malware threat does, either upward or downward, in the rankings. Each trend is color coded: a green up-arrow indicates a rise, a red down-arrow indicates a decline, and a brown equal symbol indicates no change or plateaued.
