Abebot Description and Removal Instructions
Abebot or Backdoor.Abebot is a backdoor Trojan that is used to promote rogue anti-spyware programs like PC-Antispyware. Abebot lowers Internet security settings and installs Zlob.Trojan. Zlob.Trojan secretly runs on your computer and displays fake warning messages to trick you into purchasing rogue anti-spyware programs.
Abebot fake warning message reads:
"Warning!!!
