Summary:
Worm. A program that is primarily replicating on networks or removable drives.
Payload
| Behaviour | Description |
|---|---|
| WormAutorun | A worm can spread via removable drives. It writes its executable and creates "autorun.inf" scripts on all removable drives. The autorun script will execute the Worm's file once a user opens a drive's folder in Windows Explorer. |
| IRCBot | A bot can communicate with command and control servers via IRC channel. |
| MSNWorm | A worm can spread its copies through the MSN Messanger. |
| DNSBlocker | A program can block designated DNS servers for making it difficult for users to locate specific domains or web sites on the Internet. |
| UDPFlooder | This program can make a UDP flood. A UDP flood attack is a denial-of-service attack using the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). It can be initiated by sending a large number of UDP packets to random ports on a remote host. |
| SYNFlooder | This program can make a SYN flood. It is a form of denial-of-service attack in which an attacker sends a succession of SYN requests to a target's system in an attempt to consume enough server resources to make the system unresponsive to legitimate traffic. |
| Trojan-Proxy | This program can launch a proxy server (SOCKS4) on a designated TCP port. |
| USBInfector | A program can register a device notification with the help of RegisterDeviceNotification. So it is notified when a USB device is plugged and then the worm copies itself to the USB device plugged into the affected computer. |

Propagation
A worm can spread via removable drives. It writes its executable and creates "autorun.inf" scripts on all removable drives. The autorun script will execute the Worm's file once a user opens a drive's folder in Windows Explorer.
A program can register a device notification with the help of RegisterDeviceNotification. So it is notified when a USB device is plugged and then the worm copies itself to the USB device plugged into the affected computer.
A worm can spread its copies through the MSN Messanger.
Remove it with Ad-Aware
- Click (here) to download and install Ad-Aware Free Antivirus.
- Update the definition files.
- Run a full scan of your computer.
Manual removal*
- Scan a system with an anti-rootkit tool.
- Terminate malicious process(es) (How to End a Process With the Task Manager):
Gpwiwo.exe:3844
%original file name%.exe:2632 - Delete the original Worm file.
- Delete or disinfect the following files created/modified by the Worm:
%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\Gpwiwo.exe (1281 bytes)
- Delete the following value(s) in the autorun key (How to Work with System Registry):
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Gpwiwo" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\Gpwiwo.exe" - Clean the Temporary Internet Files folder, which may contain infected files (How to clean Temporary Internet Files folder).
- Find and delete all copies of the worm's file together with "autorun.inf" scripts on removable drives.
- Reboot the computer.
*Manual removal may cause unexpected system behaviour and should be performed at your own risk.
