Hi, I am running on W2000 sp4+updates. I have problems with nail.exe and poller.exe My Symantec Client Firewall detects it occasionally trying go out. I don't really care because my Kaspersky antivirus 4.5.095 pro intercepts and deletes it every time these files runs (basically these programs do not do anything on my computer cos of KAV but there is a strange problem: looks like there is a file that KAV does not detect nether all my spy/ad removal software, and this file creates poller.exe and nail.exe every time after they been deleted by KAV, maybe I should try KAV 5 pro) ), but it is still annoying that I have the garbage on my system. I have Spyhunter, Spysweeper, XoftSpy, these are probably the best Spy/adware removal programs/ combination of programs out there! And they seem to remove these spy/adware, but for example every time I run XoftSpy, it detects Aurora again. The only way I found to stop NFW and KAV from annoying me of finding these bugs was to create two blanc files "nail.exe" "poller.exe" after deleting original ones, and set them "read only". The stupid Trojan can not rewrite itself over the files created. I still want to distroy it for real! I also tryed MyPCUninstaller, seems like it's waste of time in my case :( If someone has any information on locating "mother file for poller and nail" please reply. Thanks.

I don't know without spending more time researching on Google for you if nail and poller are related but http://netrn.net/spywareblog/archives/2005/05/10/got-aurora-nailexe/ offers much reading and several possible solutions to getting rid of nail.exe and Aurora. HTH Bryan

You have one of the nastiest spyware problems there is. I would suggest that you go to the spywarewarrior forum and get their help. For sure you will need to use "hijackthis". Good luck!

I've spend lots of time on google and on many other search engines and forums, I've tryed many different solutions. Most of them work, just like KAV works, but in a couple of reboots these files are there again :( But thanks anyway for your replies, I'll look at Spyware Warrior more closely.

Seems like I got rid of it. I've used many different ways to kill it, so I am not sure which one worked, but I think it was Nailfix that uninstalled all these crup. (I also used RegRun and AdwareAlert) But anyway if someone has the same problem start from NailFix (search google for NailFix.zip, file size should be around 26.0 KB).
