I was a victim of a new virus. The name of the virus is gphone.exe, i accidentally open this file. Lucky enough because my folder options is set on view hidden and system files and folders.
this is what the virus do:
1. kill task manager
2. no folder options
3. kill registry editor.
4. crawls to your folder. and make the same folder name with .exe extention.
5. no system restore point.
here is what i do do get rid of that virus manually/
i have a 2nd party application acts like a task manager. from there i kill the process gphone.exe. (tuneup utilities)

2. i use explorer and go to c:/windows/system32/
and find the file gphone.exe and autorun.inf delete it
3. use spybot search and destroy and scan your pc for malware.
4. i use hijack this to clean my registry and delete entry files pertaining to gphone.exe
5. manually delete all folder.exe files in all my folders (system folder is not affected only all under my documents folder.
6. restart.
7. create new administrator account.
8. done.
