Thanks for your earlier comments. I have now tried your "KillTrojan" prog., got the veryfast black-box happening, and then restarted my computer.
My OE andIE progs are running faster and I'm not "losing" keys on my keyboard, so I,m hopeful that all is well.(I replaced my Task manager using some previously gleaned information.)and it runs as normal, so I hope that all is well.
Thanks for your good help

Don't get the unigray anti-virus, since it sounds like they are the one to create the virus. Funny how they are the only virus removal software that can find the virus. Hum!

Anyway to remove the name from your taskbar after you remove it out of windows:
Run Regedit.exe (in Windows XP or later) for your registry editor and look for string HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main (Then scroll down to window title and you will find the MonaRonaDona - DELETE IT!!!!!!!)
It should be gone next time you reboot your computer.

According to the virus list it wounds as thought unigray anti-virus created this virus. Sounds like a good conclusion since they are the only program I can find that says they can remove it and according to the article this unigray has only been around 2 weeks (how convenient)!

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:

HI,
I AM SO LOST, MY COMPUTER HAS THIS MONARONADONA VIRUS, i THOUGHT I CLEANED IT OFF WITH MY AVG, BUT I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW TO GET THE MONA DONA RONA OFF OF MY HEADER AT THE TOP OF MY SCREEN, I TRIED TO READ ONE OF THE SITES YOU POSTED, BUT I AM LOST AND AM AFRAID I WILL REALLY SCREW UP MY COMPUTER, COULD YOU SUGGEST AN EASIER SITE FOR COMPUTER DUMMIES. 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.

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

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:
