I am getting an error message as my computer boots up each time. I haven't noticed any other problem with the performance of the computer, just the annoying error message below each time. I am assuming this is part of a malware problem of sorts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, but please keep the answer in simple terms.

I have a Sony VAIO desktop, running the XP operating system.

C:\WINDOWS\Nail.exe.

Thank you,
Gary

Hello, my name is fenzodahl512 and welcome to Geekstogo..

Please have a read at this topic and do all the preliminary steps given.

If you are using Windows Vista, or if you are using XP and already have Service Pack 1a or later, please ignore Step Three: Windows Updates and continue with Step Four: Reboot - Test

It should handle about 70% of your malware problem.. Should the problem still exist, please post a fresh HijackThis log here as shown in the Step Five: Posting a Hijack This Log.. Thank you smile.gif
