Well, you got a serious problem then. I cant think of any reason nano should be 
running unless YOU, or scary yet, a hacker is running it.. my suggestion is to run ps 
-ef or the like, and figure out where that nano is coming from.. If you can't figure 
it out, then give us the output and let us help you figure it out..

My thought is, you ran nano as some point and logged out and that's just a run away 
process..
