What is Abebot?

Abebot is a backdoor trojan used to lower internet security options. The parasite has undergone a change of function recently, when certain rogue anti-spyware programs started using it as a name for a threat report, whether it be a popup or fake system notification. One of the mentioned programs, which have been using Abebot as bait is called PC Anti-Spyware. PC Anti-Spyware and other rogues use these fake threat reports to intimidate the user into buying their "licensed version".

Do not trust any threat reports containing Abebot in them – they are fake. Remove the rogue anti-spyware program related to these reports.
