Remove Sabsik Trojan

The Sabsik Trojan is a unique detection name that multiple antivirus apps such as Windows Defender use to describe a potentially harmful file. Typically, Trojans of this type provide their operators with the ability to manipulate the infected system in some manner – by spying on the user, or by stealing files and executing remote commands. The exact scope of Sabsik Trojan's possibilities is not clear, but seeing this virus alert could be a major red flag. However, there are some things to keep in mind before you determine whether Sabsik Trojan is indeed dangerous or not.

Could Sabsik Trojan be a False Positive?

According to several user reports, popular games downloaded from legitimate sources may be mistakenly flagged as the Sabsik Trojan. For example, a BattleNET user who purchased Diablo II Resurrected was warned about the Sabsik Trojan when they tried launching the game. Needless to say, a game published by a major company like Blizzard would not be laced with malware. If you are 100% certain that the source of your download is safe, then the Sabsik Trojan notification could easily be a false positive.

The scenario mentioned above is very rare, however. The majority of users who complain about the Sabsik Trojan report that they were recently attempting to download pirated games, software activators, and other pirated content. Needless to say, if you interact with such files, it is much more likely to end up exposed to malware like the Sabsik Trojan. Furthermore, there is no way to be certain that the source of these downloads is safe. If you see the Sabsik Trojan alert after interacting with a shady file with an unknown origin, then you should certainly quarantine/remove the source of the threat.

What to do After Removing the Sabsik Trojan?

If the Sabsik Trojan was found in a non-trustworthy file, then you should certainly remove it. However, this is not enough to be certain that you are safe. We recommend running a full system scan using a reputable anti-malware tool. Last but not least, you might want to consider changing your important passwords in case they were compromised, although this is highly unlikely.
