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.
