Q: What is Virus.Win32.Gpcode?
A: Virus.Win32.Gpcode is a kind of virus which can encrypt files with RSA algorithm.

Today, some vendors reported a variant of Virus.Win32.Gpcode, such as TrendMicro, Kaspersky, Pandalabs. According their reports, this variant uses a complex encryption algorithm to encrypt user files and archives, include Microsoft Office files (.DOC, .XLS, .PPT), PDF documents, archived files (.ZIP, .RAR) and so on. Upon execution, it drops the file "read_me.txt" in all folders, which contains the following text:
Hello, your files are encrypted with RSA-4096 algorithm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA).

You will need at least few years to decrypt these files without our software. All your private information for last 3 months were collected and sent to us.

To decrypt your files you need to buy our software. The price is $300.

Clean out those nasty little bugs.
The antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy is one of the best scanners I’ve found so far to help me clean out those nasty little bugs that slows down my computer and causes it to freeze up or crash. It keeps my computer running like new and best of all it cost less than many of the other better known scanners that have been available for awhile now. I was glad that I finally found a scan that works and that’s so affordable. Search-and-destroy Antispyware is the best scanner I’ve used so far and you can find out more information by simply visiting http://www.Search-and-destroy.com.
