i find alot of references to getting rid of Nail with "nail.exe/FullRemove" but no explanation of what the switch does or where it comes from - nothing @ M$ site -
What exactly is its function?
(besides "It gets rid of nail.exe, DUH!") :^>

to clarify a bit - everyone says use /fullremove but noone (Googlewise anyway)
can explain how they came up with it ...

no but thanks anyway - if you google nail.exe
(some new malware going around) you find responses of "type nail.exe/fullremove to get rid of it"
it doesnt seem to a program - just a switch
??
