About the ABA file type:

If Windows cannot find the appropriate program associated with .ABA files, then your registry may have errors. Check your Windows registry for errors (includes file association errors).

The ABA file extension is a proprietary format exclusively utilized by the Avant Browser application which is considered as one of the more popular freeware Web browsers in the market. This application was developed by Chinese programmer Anderson Che by combining the Trident layout engine built into the Microsoft Windows structure with the interface designed to deliver flexible, ergonomic, and feature-rich browsing experience compared to the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser. The ABA file extension represents the add-on modules used by the application which can be executed on any Microsoft Windows Operating System platform from Windows 98 and newer. To properly execute this file format, it requires the presence of the Internet Explorer 6 or higher in the target system. The installation of the ABA file extension has been automatically carried out since the introduction of the Avant Browser 11 by using the aba:// download protocol.

The design and operation of the Avant Browser is inspired largely by the Opera Browser which is considered as the first major Web browser to incorporate MDI (Multiple Document Interface) functionality. The objectives for developing the application supported by the ABA file extension is to wrap comparable interfaces around the familiar engine provided by the Internet Explorer software and minimizing page rendering problems. The original name of the application was IEOpera but was changed because of possible trademark problems. Majority of the features incorporated into the application are based primarily on functionalities requested by its users which by November 2008 are estimated at 22.5 million across the globe. The ABA file extension supports advertising server blocking, popup blocking, and one-click disabling functionality for potential security risks.
