windows command processor

[PrinceAli]

Hello I seem to have quite an interesting issue.

Earlier today when I opened minecraft a background process opened with it called windows command processor that boosted my cpu usage to 100%. After doing some research I found out it was malware. I decided to reinstall minecraft and now it doesn't popup anymore but I'm still worried it might be on my computer. The file tracked to  C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.

Thanks

I have never received any of the normal symptoms such as it popping up as a box for it to run but I did do a complete reinstall of windows the first time and after a few weeks it came back.

[PrinceAli]

is it possible that I have a virus or am I clean?

Hello Thnx for helping I have attached the 3 logs

FRST.txt

CheckResults.txt

[AdvancedSetup]

I don't see anything in the logs to indicate any infection. We can run a couple other scanners if you like but seems clean. CMD.EXE is a valid command processor that comes with Windows.

Just one question if my computer is truly free of viruses why did the cmd.exe act the way it did?

[AdvancedSetup]

It's difficult to say. Many games or applications use other built-in software to run some element of their software. Often it's normal, in some cases a bad or corrupted install can cause issues.

I'm not currently seeing anything wrong in the logs aside from it looks like your Razor mouse? seems to have some part of the program crashing over and over. You might want to check for updates to see if that helps or if needed, contact their support for a fix if an update does not correct it.

 

 

[PrinceAli]

so am I able to uninstall everything or?

[AdvancedSetup]

At this time there are no more signs of an infection on your system.
However if you are still seeing any signs of an infection please let me know.

Let's go ahead and remove the tools and logs we've used during this process.

Most of the tools used are potentially dangerous to use unsupervised or if ran at the wrong time.
They are often updated daily so if you went to use them again in the future they would be outdated anyways.

The following procedures will implement some cleanup procedures to remove these tools.
 
Download Delfix from here and save it to your desktop. (you may already have this)

• Ensure Remove disinfection tools is checked.
• Click the Run button.
• Reboot

Any other programs or logs that are still remaining, you can manually delete. (right click.....Delete)
IE: RogueKiller.exe, RKreport.txt, RK_Quarantine folder, C:\FRST folder, FRST-OlderVersion folder, MBAR folder, etc....AdwCleaner > just run the program and click uninstall.

 
If there are any other left over Folders, Files, Logs then you can delete them on your own.
 
Please visit the following link to see how to delete old System Restore Points. Please delete all of them and create a new one at this time.

A lot of reading here but if you take the time to read a bit of it you'll see why/how infections and general damage are so easily inflicted on the computer. There is also advice on how to prevent it and keep the system working well. Don't forget about good, solid backups of your data to an external drive that is not connected except when backing up your data. If you leave a backup drive connected and you do get infected it can easily damage, encrypt, delete, or corrupt your backups as well and then you'd lose all data.
Nothing is 100% bulletproof but with a little bit of education you can certainly swing things in your favor.
