'''ABANTES''' is a [[Wikipedia:Ransomware\|ransomware]] on [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows\|Microsoft Windows]] created by Chris and ElektroKill and released on May 2018. ABANTES has not received wide distribution, although it can cause major damage to the operating system it runs on.

	The ~~ransomware's~~ payload includes a screen locker, a visual component, and a background encryption algorithm. Once installed, ABANTES replaces the desktop wallpaper image ~~with~~ the ~~Clown Doll~~ from Poltergeist, and icons on the ~~computer~~ are changed to a red square with the message "abantes was here" in black lettering. A program window named 'rules' is also opened, instructing the user not to kill any processes, edit MSCONFIG entries, or scan the OS with an antivirus. Proceeding with these actions leads to the ~~operating~~ system failing the next start-up processes, ~~and~~ instead displaying a terminal window stating that it will no longer function, alongside [[Wikipedia:Discord\|Discord]] tags from both of the creators: Chris#0538 and ElectroKill#8432. In the background, ABANTES uses a strong encryption algorithm to hold the victim's files hostage, including media files, databases, and documents.		The payload includes a screen locker, a visual component, and a background encryption algorithm. Once installed, ABANTES replaces the desktop wallpaper with an unnerving image of the clown doll from ''[[Wikipedia:Poltergeist (franchise)\|Poltergeist]]'', and several icons on the operating system are changed to a red square with the message "abantes was here" in black lettering. A program window named 'rules' is also opened, instructing the user not to kill any processes, edit MSCONFIG entries, or scan the OS with an antivirus. Proceeding with these actions leads to the system failing the next start-up processes, instead displaying a terminal window stating that it will no longer function, alongside [[Wikipedia:Discord\|Discord]] tags from both of the creators: Chris#0538 and ElectroKill#8432. It also states that troubleshooting the MBR will not fix the boot process.

'''ABANTES''' is a [[Wikipedia:Ransomware\|ransomware]] that runs on [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows\|Microsoft Windows]]. ABANTES has not received wide distribution, even though ABANTES poses a significant threat to computer users, the program does contain a [[screamer]].

	~~== Payload ==~~		''ABANTES'' is a malicious program that attacks computers running Windows OS, with the ability to infect even the latest versions. Its attack includes a screen locker, a visual component, and a background encryption algorithm. Once installed, ABANTES replaces the desktop wallpaper image with the Clown Doll from Poltergeist, and icons on the computer are changed to a red square with the message "abantes was here" in black lettering. The program window called 'rules' is also opened, with instructions not to kill any processes, edit MSCONFIG entries, or scan the PC with an antivirus. Breaking these rules would render the PC unusable. In the background, ABANTES uses a strong encryption algorithm to encrypt the victim's files, including media files, databases, and documents, effectively holding them hostage.
	ABANTES' attack ~~consists of two components:~~ a screen locker, a visual component, and a background ~~attack~~. ABANTES is ~~most commonly found on computers running~~ the ~~Windows operating system~~. the ~~program is designed~~ to ~~carry out its attack on Windows 7~~, ~~but it is also capable of infecting more recent versions of Windows~~.

	The attack of ABANTES will open a program window called 'rules' and change the mouse pointer icon. it will replace the desktop wallpaper image with Clown Doll from ''[[wikipedia:Poltergeist (2015 film)\|Poltergeist]]'', a reboot of the 1982 film with the [[wikipedia:Poltergeist (1982 film)\|same name]], and icons on the infected computer will be replaced with a red square with the words 'abantes was here' in black lettering. The message is displayed in the 'rules' program window associated with ABANTES:
	~~<pre>~~
	~~Rules:~~
	~~1. Don't Try To Kill Any Processes~~
	~~2. Don't Try To Edit Entries In MSCONFIG~~
	~~4. Don't Scan Your PC With A Antivirus~~
	~~Because It May Delete Virus Files and Your PC Will Die~~
	~~If You Break The Rules~~
	~~Your PC Will Become Unusable~~
	~~</pre>~~

	ABANTES will use a strong encryption algorithm in the background to encrypt the victim's files in order to hold them hostage. While the user is attempting to close the ABANTES program window, the program will launch an attack on the user-generated files, encrypting numerous media files, databases, and other documents.
