How do I get rid of the nail.exe adware virus from my computer? Is there a program that actually works?

Question

I've tried the anti-virus programs that don't work: norton anti-virus, ad aware, winantivirus. They advertise they work, but they don't.

Answer 2

as long as ur comp still funcions normally try opening start>search>files and folders, choose all files and folders then enter nail.exe make sure in more advanced options that the boxes search hidden files and folders, and search system folders both hav a checkmark. then click search and in the end after its done delete all the files uv found. however the better way to solve ur problem is to use a program such as lavasoft adaware SE or spybot search and destroy (they are both free)to find the virus becuz it will also b able to delete all the other support files the virus has created trust me i kno from experience that adaware works perfectly fine (EVEN THE FREE VERSION WHICH IM USING RIGHT NOW lol)

Answer 3

you're able to have extra beneficial than one virus scanner put in, yet you need to use in ordinary terms one for real time protection, when you consider which you will get clashes in any different case. you need to use the different for handbook virus scans or recuperating from infections. With antispyware there is fairly much less danger of a conflict, however the comparable regulations form of stick to. i take advantage of AVG unfastened. while you're keen to pay then BitDefender is greater rated than this, yet its unfastened version isn't adequate protection.
