Gphone.exe description

Gphone.exe is worm which spreads via instant messengers. It usually affects Yahoo! Messenger and Google Talk applications. Gphone.exe send a message and invites victims to visit a website. If clicked upon, the link actually delivers a copy of Gphone.exe infection. The worm delivers the following message:

“There is in the worst of fortune the best of chances for a happy change
There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will
The wisest mind has something yet to learn
The wise man in the storm prays God, not for safety from danger, but for deliverance from fear
Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times
Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action
Happiness is not a destination. It is a method of life
The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up
If you want truly to understand something, try to change it
I am a strong believer in luck and I find the harder I work the more I have of it
View my webcam (private) [LINK]”

    Start your computer in a safe mode. Most of malicious processes are inactive in the safe mode so you should be able to deal with the Gphone.exe.

    I started my computer in the safe mode but it did not help.This can be rectified by:
    Open the ‘run’ and type
    “REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f”
    in the blank space , then press OK.
    The task mansger can then be accessed in the normal matter(likr ctrl+alt +del)

    Richard,
    now you have to delete gphone.exe from your startup files list: start -> run -> msconfig -> go to startup and uncheck gphone. This should help you.

    Sir, I have this problem since 2 months. I recognise it after using AVG Anti virus free version programme. All my folders have new folder.exe. And in start up there is a run time error “53″:file not found:sysproc.dil. And now windows script Host-Loading scriot “C:\windows\system32\neo.vbe” failed (Acess is denied). After that I downloaded the windows steady state to protect my system. But this virus can’t go away. How can I remove it. I am not aware of knowledge in computers to do it manually. Is there any solution in Online. Please give me reply in a short span of time.

    Run anti-spyware scan. AVG is anti-virus and it’s designed to deal with different type of infections.

    Download the anti-spyware on another computer and then copy the install file on the infected PC using USB drive or CD or something like that. The manual removal is more effective in a safe mode because malware may prevent removal in a normal mode.

    i had the same problem…i have win xp and was using avg free version…
    …from one of the forums i learnt that kaspersky would help…so i uninstalled avg
    free and downloaded kaspersky 2010 trial version and installed it…then updated the virus defination and ran the whole computer scan …it killed the gphone virus along with all the folders that it had created…for other gphone related i carried out the following action…

    1. CTRL+ALT+DEL disabled by virus…

    solution. a. go to RUN…
    b. Type (without the quotes “” ofcourse)

    ” REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f ”

    c. press OK

    2. C and D drive only opens by explore and not double clicking.

    solution. a. go to cmd prompt ( in accessories) and run the following commands.

    c:\> attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf
    c:\> del autorun.inf
    d:\> attrib -r -s -h autorun.inf
    d:\> del autorun.inf

    b. restart computer

    3. “regedit” command disabled by the virus

    solution. a. go to RUN
    b. type

    ” reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /f ”

    c. press ok

    4. folder option not available in tools..

    solution. a. Go to Run, type gpedit.msc then press enter.
    b. Navigate to User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Explorer.
    c. At the right panel, look for “Removes the Folder Options menu
    item from the Tools menu”, right click on it then choose Properties.
    d. Change the setting from Enabled to Not Configured or Disabled.

    this worked for me…i hope it works for you…
