TSS GMusicPlayer

By GoldSparrow in Potentially Unwanted Programs

The prefix TSS before GMusicPlayer stands for 'Tech Support Scam' and you should not install the GMusicPlayer software. The GMusicPlayer program should not be mistaken for the legitimate music player GOM Audio from Gretech Corp. TSS GMusicPlayer is a security detection that refers to a fake media player that may be used to generate misleading security notifications on the compromised PC. The notifications associated with TSS GMusicPlayer may appear as pop-up windows in the browser, banners on your favorite pages and message boxes on your desktop. TSS GMusicPlayer is part of a small but expanding family of software that is designed to appear as a legitimate service while phishing messages are shown on your screen. Software that behaves like TSS GMusicPlayer is listed on our database and includes apps like Desk 365 and Security Defender Pro 2015. The TSS GMusicPlayer might launch the default Internet browser on your OS and load a bogus 'critical alert' saying:

'Alert!! A Problem has occurred that need your attention: Error Code generated : b-00xx01'

The 'error code b-00xx01' notification is not recognized as a legitimate error report. However, users affected by TSS GMusicPlayer may experience aberrant system behavior and be willing to call a number promoted by TSS GMusicPlayer as a help-line. We are aware that the TSS GMusicPlayer software is related to several toll-free phone lines that include 1855-223-9012 and 0800-0662548, as well as many others. Programs such as GMusicPlayer are re-branded daily, bundled with legitimate free tools and shipped to users via software deployment platforms. Variants of TSS GMusicPlayer may correspond to hundreds of phone lines and appear not only as media players but Internet browsers, Web filters, free VPN services and other tools that require connection to the Web. That way TSS GMusicPlayer may bypass some anti-malware defenses. PC users that suspect TSS GMusicPlayer is on their machines should do a complete system scan with a trustworthy anti-malware suite and purge unwanted software.
