Normally I wouldn't go off topic with this ...
but this MonaRonaDona thing is a bit elaborate
so maybe worth the bandwidth.

Lengthy DSL Reports discussion thread on this:

Network World article on the scam:

Bottom line - DO NOT use the UNIGRAY.COM web site removal tool:
that is just part of this virus (more accurately a Trojan) scam.

Could also be connected to another bogus package:
RegistryCleaner 2008
