I use bit defender, and it has never told me that. If it says anything about it being a trojan, just add it to the safe list.

Well neither are viruses.

PortIO is an unsigned driver, that may be the problem.
ABGX opens a file (your game) scans it, and sends results to its server, (if the option is selected) it will patch your game with its files. This could be mistaken for spyware.

Who knows, virus scanners update all the time.

I used to use AVG but it decided one day to delete half the DDL's belonging to itunes claiming they were some kind of trojan (upon further research, the trojan it had said iTunes was did not actually exist...)
