| I know this thread is getting a little long to easily find anything.
There are two fixes, different only in that on uses native batch scripting only; the other uses freeware utilities. Try them in the order given below. Using Safe Mode is a good idea for either:

Thank you very much for your very good tip how to delete
MonaRonaDona ugly virus. Its box was on my screen for 2 days and I was trying for many hours a day to delete it. But only your help was excellent. Thank you very much!   And yes, I was using Registryfix2008 the night before that virus appeared on my screen. So that was the way I got it....And by the way I was able to do just the first part, the second part with moving and cleaning did not work. But the virus was cleaned anyway with HijackThis. Thank you again. |

Here's the mug shot of the guys that registered Unigray and possibly cerated the virus:

| I am a little uncomfortable with the whole mug shot idea. PREVX researchers, for example, have a completely different person they tracked down who admits to having written the infection: »www.prevx.com/blog/82/MonaRonaDo···PID.html |

Re: MonaRonaDona "virus"?
The only issue the batch scripting solution might have is that it was unable to find Tsklist in the path.
If you have issues with the first fix, then use the second. It has everything needed to remove the virus:

I have the mother freaking MonaRonaDona virus. I am not very computer savy. I tried the start, then programs, then next I have no clue. I also have no clue if this is a right method to use or if someones leading me into another virus trap. It's just a pain in the butt for this to be on my screen eventhough people say its harmless. Can someone pleaseeeee walk me through this? Many thanks 3-6-08 4 pm Thanks |

THANKS HOLLY One option would be to download and install Spywareblaster.
There's an option within that app to change IE's title bar, among other things.
An added benefit would be the additional anti-spyware protection that it offers.

Though it's not going to remove any current or left-over MonaRonaDona crapola on your machine, beyond allowing you to make that one change. |

If the fixes posted earlier in this thread are too difficult, and there is no shame in admitting this, then call the Tech Support department of your Antivirus vendor to start with. They very likely are very aware of this virus and have some sort of easier remedy available for you.
The two "fixes" in this thread, only one of which need be done, are:
