I'm having problems with my computer freezing unexpectedly, so I went searching for solution and found this forum. The thing that bothers me most is the red security system warning followed with:

"Alert details File: C:\WINDOWS\wml.exe Threat: Abebot"

It also has a triangle thing on my icons pop up that says "click here to fix problem" which automatically takes me to a site to download antispyware.

I just want these things gone! They're so annoying..and I hope someone on here can help me.

I've already downloaded malwarebytes and it's currently running right now, so when it's done I will post logs of it along with hijackthis logs.
