It is important to note that the threat level assessment is just
a general guideline. If you do not recognize the software installed, and
you feel that it may be causing you harm or violating your privacy, you
may wish to remove it from your computer. You are ultimately responsible
for assessing the danger that a software application poses.
Low
The low threat level is applied to software that has a low risk
of hurting your computer or the data stored on it. Low threat software
is not likely to be used to commit crimes using your computer as a platform,
or send your files back to a hacker.
Medium
The medium threat level is applied to software that has some risk
of serious violations of your privacy. The software has a low likelihood
of hurting your computer or the data stored on it, and is probably not used
to commit crimes using your computer as a platform, or send your files back
to a hacker.
High
The high threat level is applied to software that is most likely
used to violate your privacy, or could be used to hurt your computer
or the data stored on it, and even potentially commit crimes using your
computer as a platform. High threat level software generally does not
serve any legitimate purpose, and is almost always a good candidate for
removal.
