Is nail.exe a virus or some errors? How can I get rid of it? When i delete
this file, it comes back out after a short period of time. (I have deleted
from regestry as well, but it doesn't work)

It's spyware

Take a look at this article
http://netrn.net/spywareblog/archives/2005/05/10/got-aurora-nailexe/
http://www.computing.net/security/wwwboard/forum/16137.html

Get a spyware remover, update its definitions, and run it.
It should be able to remove this.

Follow these instructions, all of them. Download, install, update and run
all of the following.

Ad-Aware

Spybot search and destroy
http://www.pcbutts1.com/downloads/spybotsd14.exe

If none of the above fixes the issue then download Hijack this, run it, save
a copy of the log file and cut and paste it back here to this group only so
that it can be analyzed by me.

AdAware is all that's needed.
I said before it was a virus (but apparently it isn't from what I've later
discovered - easily cleaned up by either AdAware or SpyBot)
