Help! Command prompt opens (and stays open) at every program start (wh

[beatmztr]

Every time when i start a program (via the desktop or the program files) it starts first a command prompt with some startup information. When the prompt is closed, the gui is also ended.

I just cleaned the computer using this method and it is now malware free (99% sure about that)

I have run memtest86+ and the memory is fine.

The PC is a Dell Dimension 5150C

The HJT log shows nothing weird (This is not my first PC Repair and I am familiar with HJT)

Please comment, ? need help:))

This used to happen to me, right click on the icon, hit properties, and in the "Target" box make sure nothing is after the last ", sometimes if theres -image or -wmc after them (it used to auto do that to my shortcuts) it can run the command prompt; if not, i'm not sure.

Although your computer may be void of malware, this is most likely a residual effect of some piece of malware you removed. You could try an IPU, but I'm not sure that it will fix your problem. I agree with Ridlas that the best, and by far the quickest, solution is to simply reformat.

I agree with format, my friend however does not :-)

I?m going to check out the shortcuts properties when it finishes Disk checking

Create a new user and profile; does it happen there also?
