I downloaded WOC Beta and about 2 weeks later uninstalled it. After
uninstall, reboot, and sign on (and every sign on since) I get an error
message that says: Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\Nail.exe' . Make sure you
typed the name correctly, and then try again....When I did a search for the
file I found it. It was a quarantineed file by WOC Beta. It let me delete the
file, but I still get this warning each time I sign on. How do I get rid of
this warning? Thank you. Alex.

You could try downloading autoruns from www.sysinternals.com to
see if it lets you know where this is configured to start at login, if it
is directly started rather than started by something else that autoruns
would show.

You don't want nail.exe -- it is malware.

Execute MSCONFIG.EXE and go to the StartUp tab.

Disable the line item that loads it then reboot.
