Gfg.exe

Gfg.exe, also known as Troj/GhostGirl, or simply GhostGirl, is a Chinese screamer application created by an unknown user on September 11th, 2002.

The "gfg.exe" icon.
	Unknown
	Application
	September 11th, 2002

The icon is a low-resolution image of a yellow smiley face. When the user launches the application, it runs in the background, so it seems that nothing happened. However, after a short period of time, the application will suddenly display a full-screened picture of Crazy Ghost along with a loud scream.

The application will then begin to show the screamer at random intervals and repeatedly open and close the disk tray to annoy the user. The application will also run everytime the computer finishes its startup process by creating entries in the "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices" registry keys.
