Remove Trojan:Win32/Sabsik.FL.A!ml
Trojan:Win32/Sabsik.FL.A!ml is a detection name used by Microsoft Defender, Windows’ built-in anti-virus program. This is a bit of a tricky detection, as it’s possible it’s a false positive. The “ml” in the detection name refers to “machine learning”, which anti-virus programs use to identify behavior that resembles that of a malicious program. It’s not uncommon for legitimate programs to be flagged as potential threats by anti-virus programs because of this. However, while “ml” detections being false positives are not uncommon, it does not necessarily mean whatever is being detected on your computer is a false positive as well.
Microsoft Defender alerts saying Trojan:Win32/Sabsik.FL.A!ml has been detected may seem very alarming, as the alerts may say it’s a ransomware type of malware. Ransomware is one of the most serious infections you can get, as it takes files hostage by encrypting them and demands payment for their recovery. Oftentimes, it’s not possible to recover the encrypted files, meaning users lose them for good.
Because the detected malware category is ransomware, you need to be very careful, even if there’s a strong possibility the detection may be a false positive. To be sure, we strongly recommend using another anti-malware program to scan your computer.
How to remove Trojan:Win32/Sabsik.FL.A!ml
In order to figure out your next course of action, you first need to determine whether Trojan:Win32/Sabsik.FL.A!ml is a false positive or not. If you know for certain that whatever file is being detected is not malicious, it’s more than likely a false positive. However, if you are not sure, download and install a different anti-malware program and perform a scan. If something malicious like a trojan is detected, then the Trojan:Win32/Sabsik.FL.A!ml detection was correct. If nothing is detected, then it is indeed a false positive. If Microsoft Defender continuously detects it, you should be able to whitelist the file so it stops being flagged. You should also report the false positive to Microsoft.
