Firstly
You aren't running Anti Virus Software

Anti-virus software are programs that detect, cleanse, and erase harmful virus files on a computer, Web server, or network.
Unchecked, virus files can unintentionally be forwarded to others, including trading partners and thereby spreading infection. Because new viruses regularly emerge, anti-virus software should be updated frequently. Anti-virus software can scan the computer memory and disk drives for malicious code. They can alert the user if a virus is present, and will clean, delete (or quarantine) infected files or directories. Please download a free anti-virus software from one these excellent vendors NOW:

1) Antivir PersonalEditionClassic
-Free anti-virus software for Windows.
-Detects and removes more than 50,000 viruses. Free support.
2) avast! 4 Home Edition
-Anti-virus program for Windows.
-The home edition is freeware for noncommercial users.
3) AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition
-Free edition of the AVG anti-virus program for Windows.


There is no sign of a Third Party Firewall installed on your system.
As the term conveys, a firewall is an extra layer of security installed onto computers, which restricts access to systems from the outside world. Firewalls protect against hackers and malicious intruders. I want you to download a free firewall NOW from one of these excellent vendors:

There are several possible reasons for the Firewall not showing.
  1. You are using Windows Firewall. This is not recommended as it will only stop incoming material. It permits all outgoing traffic.
  2. You are using a hardware firewall. It should be complemented with a Third Party Software Firewall
  3. You have a firewall, but you disabled it. Please re-enable it.
  4. You don't have a firewall at all.

If you don't have a third party firewall, please get ONE firewall and install it. Restart the computer for changes to take effect.

Online Armor
Comodo Personal Firewall

Please post back a new HijackThis log after installing the firewall.

Thanks dan :)

I dowloaded AntiVir and Comodo. The MonaRonaDona was located and the message on my desktop went away. I'm able to use Window Messenger again. However, my Task Manager is disabled still and the headers on Internet Explorer still say MonaRonaDona at the end.

Thank you and what's next.

I did a search and do not have SRVSPOOL.EXE on my computer.

I went to add remove and do not find RegistryCleanFix2008, however, it opens on my screen when i boot up. When I first found this virus, i removed RegistryCleanFix2008 with add remove. It still opens when i boot up.

I figured I needed to let you know this before I went any further.
