Gfg.exe, also known as Troj/GhostGirl, or simply GhostGirl, is a Chinese screamer application created by an unknown user on September 11th, 2002. It was written in the Visual Basic 6.0 programming language for Microsoft Windows.
The icon is a low-resolution image of a yellow smiley face. When the user starts up the application, it will begin to run in the background with no indication. After a short period of time, the application will suddenly display a full-screened picture of Crazy Ghost, accompanied by 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, and will also run every time the computer finishes its start-up process by creating entries in the "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" and "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices" registry keys. The application will even turn the computer on automatically at midnight hours while it is shut down, so that the screamer can appear while the user is most likely sleeping so that they can get scared either way.
