Re: MonaRonaDona "virus"?
Thank you for posting all of the information on fixing this virus. I am a complete novice when it comes to doing this, but the steps were easy to follow and it appears that the issue is resolved.
I woke up to this virus "announcement" before my eyes were barley open! I had been having trouble with a website and was trying to find a way to fix it...I, too, downloaded "RegistryFix2008" about Thursday or Friday. It said I had all sorts of viruses and corrupt files ( I DO have a anti-virus program) and then wanted $ to buy the program to fix it.....but when I went to find the file so I could delete it, it was no where to be found...until this morning? |

1 edit | Can you tell us what website you had problems with and where you got the suggestion or though to download that registry fix.. if it is not too personal..it would really help us all to understand how or where people are getting whacked with this one in the first place. And do I then understand your first noticed the MonaRonaDona when you rebooted your PC or first turned it on the next day ?
Thanks

And do I then understand your first noticed the MonaRonaDona when you rebooted your PC or first turned it on the next day ? I was trying to make a homepage on the Shelfari.com website. Rural living only enables us to have dial-up so there are some sites, like YouTube that don't work here and that's ok, but I kept getting an "Ajax Toolkit is undefined" and "Internet Script Error" so I typed into the Netscape search engine "Ajax Toolkit" and up came Registry Fix as oneof the choices. It took a few minutes and then "scanned" my computer, showed a bunch ofviruses, corrupt files, blah, blah, blah and said to fix, click here and buy the program to fix them....I already have a anti-virus, scanny thing, so I went to remove the program and couldn't find it anywhere in the PC's files. I went to ASP.Net ( I think, my head is fairly spinnig right now) to download the Ajax Toolkit, thought I did, can't find it anywhere either, shut the computer down about three times thinking it would fix the problem on Shelfari, but it didn't. Since it wasn't something I had to have, I just left the site. That was Friday. Last night I shut the computer down instead of simply letting it hibernate and when I rebooted it this morning, I found the nasty little note, about 3x5 inch size in the lower right hand side of the computer. Hope this helps you find out what or who it's from.
Thanks

Vacaville, CA | That sounds about right.
Is this passed through Emails I have sent to people? Is this Unigray anti-virus hoping I will want to buy their "protection" and that's why I got it? |

Don't know about the email but I do not think so..on the other..It is not the first time some group stocked a lake..made you use their fishingpole then charged you by the inch to catch them.
