To get rid of nail.exe, first boot into safe made (press f8 when rebooting at the point right after POST). When running create a dummy nail.exe file: In a folder other than windows right-click and create a new text file. Leave it empty then rename it nail.exe. Then right click and make it read-only. Right-click on it again and copy. Then go to the windows folder delete the existing nail.exe file and paste the one you created. This has to be done fairly quickly or the bad nail.exe will reappear. After that you can have your revenge on Aurora. This has worked a lot of times for me...

2. my pc tuneup by Guest. 2005-08-23 13:08:58
worked for me, besides if it reinstalled then ide be in the same place as before. what a bunch of nonsense, to think the uninstall was merely a ploy to install 2x! Like the program doesnt replicate on its own. I say if you are infected then nothing to lose, Right!!
