JAVA_SMSSEND.AB is a Trojan that spreads as a fake version of Skype application which was created by scammers. JAVA_SMSSEND.AB attempts to benefit from Android users. The fake Skype application is not a very professional program because the program only runs on older Symbian phones or Android devices that enable execution of Java MIDlet. The fake Skype application is promoted through tricky websites, mainly hosted on Russian domains (.ru) but the bogus app itself is hosted on Nigerien domains (.ne). Android does not allow you to download and install applications from any sources. In order to receive legitimate version of the application you should download it from the official Google Play store.
