Click on Start-Run, type: msconfig, then click on OK. When the System Configuration Tool loads, click on the 'Startup' tab, then see if ' c:WINDOWSsystem32cmd.exe' is listed there. If so, UNCHECK the box next to it, click on 'Apply', then restart the machine. Upon restart place a CHECK mark in the box to NOT run System Configuration Tool at startup.Or you could simply open the registry editor and check for the listing at either the locations below.
If so, delete the line indicating such:HKEYCURRENTUSERSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRunorHKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRunHope this helps.Grif. Your answer was a big help. It saved me a reformat job.As one can imagine, Google searching this turned up many different thoughts, ideas and mostly scares entertaining this command being a virus or a keylogger. No matter how dedicated we are to our diligence of browsing habits, pc protection and maintenance, we do, at times, wonder if something got 'slid past the goalie'.For the last two weeks, I've been seeing this flash screen at startup for the c:WINDOWSsystem32cmd.exe and was starting to wonder if this was an infection of some sort. Picking your advice spots on the internet can be as troublesome as the alleged trouble source you're seeking to fix. Thank goodness for Grif's post.Alas, your directions were correct. It further completed the piece of the puzzle I was missing.
I can only speak for myself but this startup screen was generated from an AMD Vision Driver Download update. I had recently upgraded to a larger video graphic card and ran the initial CD whereas two weeks ago (consistent with this flash startup problem) my first update was installed.
It all made sense once you pointed me in the right direction. If you actually mouse over the full command line name in the UNCHECK window, you can see its full name and that AMD generated it.
I unticked the startup box for c:WINDOWSsystem32cmd.exe and no longer see it at startup.Thank you, Grif. If there are two listings of 'c:WINDOWSsystem32cmd.exe' in 'msconfig', then UNCHECK them both. Nero Check (part of Nero burning software) and 'cftmon' which is part of MS Office probably aren't causing the issue you mention. Still, it is possible you have spyware or viruses on the machine.

Be sure to run scans with a good anitivirus (a number are available and you haven't indicated which you are running) and spyware removal tool such as Malwarebytes or SuperAntispyware.You may also need to check the registry at the two 'run' locations to see if any inconsistencies are seen.Hope this helps.Grif.in the original thread starter.and no mention of internet connection problems which YOU had along with the command prompt popping up at startup. The original poster had no such logon problems. And there was also no mention of a malware issue by the original poster which is the underlying cause in the link you provided earlier.By the way, you DID NOT reply to the original poster. You replied to ME, Grif Thomas, in your original response after I had answered questions by members in 2012. Your first post at the link below was approximately TWO YEARS after the thread started.So again, thanks for posting the information as it may help someone else, but as I said before, 'Glad it solved your situation but logging on to the internet was not the original poster's, or any of the other's, issue. I'm glad it solved yours.'

'Nuff said.Grif. Although there are lots of possibilities here, (Bob requested a Hijackthis log to verify), in the meantime, did you try the regular startup folder by clicking on the Start button, choose 'All Programs', then click on the 'Startup' folder listing. Some of the programs that run at startup are listed there. If you don't need them to run at startup, delete them and if the '.system32cmd.exe' is listed there, remove it as well.Checking for it at the locations below might help as well:Your personal startup folder should be C:UsersAppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartup.The All Users startup folder should be C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartup.Hope this helps.Grif.
