Remove Abebot. Description and removal instructions

 
Title: Abebot

Type: Trojans
Severity scale:Abebot severity is 45  (45 / 100)
 
Abebot is a backdoor trojan, which is used to lower internet security settings, but recently the popular function of this parasite has changed. Abebot is now most commonly used by rogue anti-spyware trojans, as content for fake threat reports, which may look something like this:

“Warning!!!
File: C:\WINDOWS\wml.exe
Threat:Abebot
Click here to visit PC-Antispyware web site.”

If you see such a popup, do not trust it - it is nothing more than a fake threat. Do not download or buy any software associated to Abebot threats.
