Trojan-Mailer.Win32.Spambot
Trojan-Mailer.Win32.Spambot is a non-existent trojan virus that is reported in fake security alerts initiated by the rogue anti-spyware application Spyware and Privacy Control System. The Trojan-Mailer.Win32.Spambot pop-up reads as follows:
"Subject: Trojan-Mailer.Win32.Spambot; Description: This Trojan sends email spam to your address book; Result: Threat blocked; Recommended: Make a full scan of your computer... Stop sending and remove spambot."
