Will cmd.exe run without user action?

Umm unfortunately not. I was a happy wee using Norton thinking it was all safe jolly good.

Just left the PC for about 2 hours and when it came back it reported critical windows error but I was able to reboot it and though unable to connect to the internet for about 7-8 minutes it managed to connect itself in the end.

I did some searches and there are indications of an infection, you can remove manually, here are some links. REGARDING Connect so tend not to be a problem when W7 usually solve it yourself,

Look and compare, I can see differences in your system, versus that which is available here

Thanks I already looked at them. Except the first link they are rather useless imo and I already looked at the first link before.

But thanks for the effort

There was so little, but I suggest you take the program Spybot S & D if you do not have it yet, it can be a useful adjunct to minimize the risk of future intrusions, and it is independent, run a scan with it to see where that may exist, then it makes a fine bot scan

I found out that my games were no longer working somehow and God knows what else.

I just reinstalled everything


I know or aware from a long time ago that there's no way to protect a home PC from manual hacker attack much less if it was organized determined attacks done on behalf of some rogue state for extended period of time like years.

I lost my Vista CD to hacking it cracked because I was popping it in and out too many times. My installation only lasted 3-6 days on average then. The OS just kept crashing. My guess it was an attempt to force me to change my sensitive signatures that I had been using in the many forums that I frequented. And now I can only suspect it is an attempt to force me to change my sig too especially the provided picture but I've learned one important concept. That is initiative and autonomy. Nobody but God can make me do anything that I do not wish. I have control.... LOL. At least I know I'm frustrating some people and when you're frustrating a party that could only mean that you hold the initiative. That's the only reason why they are trying to frustrate me back by ruining my OS.

Before I made the switch to 7 my old Vista installation was also hacked into. Faulty registry entries due to hacking no not ordinary registry error, you need to fix them manually and I don't think the registry cleaner did that and my whole firefox installation was gone! though I could still run firefox but it just wasn't in the usual folder. In fact I couldn't find where my firefox.exe was located.

It's the same kind of attack every time so I guess it's the same kind of hacker[s] every time too. And yes I always protect my PC to the best of my knowledge.

Yep until the same people decided to impress me with their hacking equipment and skills. They would impress me if they tried Pentagon. Me? Meh.

Funny thing they left me alone for some months when I was forced to install a non genuine copy of vista since I cracked my genuine Vista cd.

Knowing how funny some people can be [quite irrational and dramatic] I'm almost guessing that since the genuine windows have a made in Singapore print on their boxes perhaps some people who rule there think they are theirs by rights much like the people who live there and their livelihood .

. They are indeed FUNNY people. Hey three people agreed with me as proved by my signature picture. But I'm sure the death threat reply to my comment will get more thumb up than just three with time LOL. Maybe. Either way whether it will get more thumb up or nor it's all good for me since the reply is indeed a death threat. South East Asia or even Asia in general and democracy and human rights is like looking for camel in the Everest mountain that is when you do find them they are already dead or fossilized.
