Beware MonaRonaDona antivirus scam, researchers warn
Kaspersky Lab says Trojan uses social engineering to sell fake antivirus software
By Ellen Messmer , NetworkWorld.com , 03/03/2008
If your computer gets infected with a Trojan called the “MonaRonaDona virus,” be careful with what you use to wipe it off your computer, says antimalware software provider Kaspersky Lab. MonaRonaDona is part of an elaborate scam to sell fake antivirus software, Kaspersky researchers say.
Unlike most viruses and Trojans which try to go about their evil task as invisibly as possible, the MonaDonaRona Trojan displays a broadly visibly message in front of the victim. It says, “Welcome to MonaRonaDona. I am a Virus & I am here to wreck your PC. If you observe strange behaviour with your PC, like program Windows disappearing, etc., it’s me who’s doing this.” The message claims it’s all part of a human rights protest.

Protect Yourself Against Viruses
Your computer can fall victim to many destructive events: power surges, coffee spills, a failed hard drive, or worse. But your computer is also susceptible to a digital invader called a virus.
A virus is a program that attaches itself to another program and spreads from one file to another, causing varying degrees of damage. You may not even notice some viruses, but malicious ones can erase your data files, corrupt your applications,
cause your computer to crash, and, in certain cases, render your hard drive completely useless. For more on computer viruses, see Understanding Computer Viruses.
