Re: MonaRonaDona

I have had no more problems...
...Could it be malware, as I found that my antimalware
was turned off in Windows Security

Whatever "antimalware" is, I'd say that's a BIG problem.

I do not recommend Adware Alert.

See the "need more help?" part of http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=32239 to be sure the machine's clean.

I have had no more problems. Adware Alert emailed me the link to a new .exe
file, I ran it and all is good. No problems at all with my machine, all
anti-spyware working great. I don't belive Monaronadona is actually a
virus, as it just played around with the programs in my startup menu and
the text string in the Internet Explorer header, but what is it? All seemed
to point to registry. Could it be malware, as I found that my antimalware
was turned off in Windows Security. For now, life is good at the
workstation.

I also had the vist from MonaRonaDona after having run the trial version
of
Registry Cleaner. Some discussions pointed to deleting the new .exe file
in
my Startup folder, but I was unable to. I moved the file to my desktop,
ran
Registry fix in CCleaner. It indicated a problem with the location of
that
file and suggested a fix. I hit the fix button, and the file disappeared
along with Mona's message. But, did it really get deleted? While it was
running, I was unable to run some of the programs that were shown on my
Startup window and now I can run all of them again. To deleter Mona's
name
in internet explorer, run regedit.exe, go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Window Title,
you may find MonaRonaDona under Data. Double click and edit the string.
I
also got hit by a trojan that infected my Adware Alert program and have a
request into their support group to get that fixed.
