Arun 795 Report post Posted January 20, 2007 It sounds like a virus/spyware as it popus in between automatically.. It could be also happenning due to some installed softwares... Anyway, run MSCONFIG and uncheck any unnecessary programs, and the field which has cmd.exe Also check in the following Registry locations: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run (and Run once) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run (and Run once) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
