Re: MonaRonaDona "virus"?

MonaRonaDona Removal Tool

~~~ EDIT: You would be better doing the more comprehensive fix posted further below for Vista, XP, Windows 2003 and Windows 2008. If you have any issues, run the steps in Safe Mode.

Important Note: This fix version is likely best done in Safe Mode after creating the actual script below. The second "fix" (below): »Re: MonaRonaDona "virus"? does not have this requirement, and is likely the best overall choice.

Using your mouse, Highlight and then Right-click | Copy the entire contents of the Quote box below, including blank lines:

@echo off
cd %~dp0

Open a new Notepad session (Do not use a Word Processor or WordPad). Click "Format" and be certain that Word Wrap is not enabled. Right-click | Paste the Code box contents from above into Notepad. Click File, Save as..., and set the location to your Desktop, and enter (including quotation marks) as the filename: "KillTrojan.cmd" . Exit.

Double click the new file "KillTrojan.cmd" to run the program. There is a black box that will open but there are no user prompts, and this will take only moments to complete.

Best wishes,
Bill Castner

Thank you for the removal tool, bcastner.
For Windows Vista it worked from safe mode.
I installed Spotmau WinCare 2008 on the same date SRVPOOL was created on my computer. I'm wondering if there is any connection between them. Did anybody who had Spotmau installed got this problem?

Can you tell us the reasons and steps that led you to even download and install Spotmau WinCare 2008 in the first place ?

Thanks

All the text in the Quote box.
There are horizontal lines to mark the beginning and end of the Quote box.

The easier fix is a few posts below it. It uses HijackThis and a free utility called OTMOVEIT2 by Old Timer.

I think he's looking for something a little more in depth... you might not have caught this little statement...

That seems a bit more complicated, doesn't it.

Dunno.
Certainly the OP came here for MonaRonaDona.
Other issues are not suitable for handling in the Security subForum, and the post would get killed if I attempted to do so.

Anything that appears to be a one-to-one malware removal must be done only in the Security Cleanup Forum. The fixes I posted earlier raised some objections by some already; the fact that they were generic and not directed to a specific individual allowed them to stay.

One-on-one removal, or any other Trojan issue, would start with this: »Security Cleanup FAQ »Mandatory Steps Before Requesting Assistance

This worked great! I tried the "Who Lock Me" program and that was unsuccessful. I also had difficulty figuring out how to start my computer in safe mode. However, what you posted above worked perfectly and was so easy to follow!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Hi, I ran the KillTrojan.CMD, and now my Task Manager is disabled.

How do I turn it back on?

It appears the Trojan is gone, thanks for that, BTW!!!

You could try the .reg file here if the OS is XP.

»www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

download it at #51 called Enable the Task Manager

put it on the desktop..double click on it to install..then you might have to reboot.

Also if by chance there are other reasons your's does not work then see this link and scroll down to Task Manager and see all the situations and fixes since there are three ways to bring it up.

I have tried the fixes suggested. When I open the notepad named "KillTrojan.cmd" it does not do anything. I have gone thru the whole sequence 3 times.
