Thats unusual. Abyss isnt a virus. It could have been targeted by that virus and then it made AVG thing it was a virus. Try reinstalling Abyss and see if AVG still says its a virus.

Not running abyss. abwsx1.exe is only on disk in 4 folders.
Is that an installation program? Won't install it for sure, right now.
Wondering if this is a false reporting with new virus definitions from AVG?
Got the new definitions today running 7.0.0.318.

I would assume so but to be safe, download Abyss again from www.aprelium.com/downloads and scan it again.

Spud2004

Just did and no virus detected. Thank you. Still investigatiing.
I have the 2 product. This is the installation for the older 1, I think.

OK, chances are the file has been infected with a previous virus and it hasnt been cleaned by your Anti-Virus software. I would quarantine the file or just delete it.

AVG and Avast have had problems with the Nullsoft installer used by Abyss in the past, they probably just broke something else...

You get what you pay for :)

There is no virus in abwsx1.exe.
Both AVG and Aprelium technical support tested abswx1.exe package and concluded that it was virus-free.
Apparently Spud2004's system has been infected by a virus, and the abwsx1.exe package it had on his hard drive has been contaminated.

I knew I would find an answer to this , you guy's won't believe this but a new
worm is trying to use Abyss as a target server , I found this on the Symantec
website and it really pissed me off when I found it. Enjoy reading :(
Edit: This was released in 2003 so it probably no longer exists and so if
your AVG is old , I do recommend uprading it , it could also be NullSoft.
