Hello,

I've had this problem for a while now...

When I type "cmd" into my run page I see it turn on and then dissapear really fast. If I put in a command like "netstat" it turns on then does nothing.

I see that rather then cmd.exe running, its cmd.com

Maybe someone can help?

Thanks!!

Sounds like a virus, as there are 2 flavors of M$'s DOS: command.com, which is the old DOS compactable interpreter/OS, and the newer cmd.exe, which ships with XP, and is a interpreter for XP.

[WhitPhil]

You are infected with one of these viruses which drops a bunch of (hidden) COM files which will run before EXE files.

Picrate A
Picrate B
Picrate C

Alcra A
Alcra B

Follow through the removal process for both, and then it would be worthwhile to post back a HiJackThis log as a double check.

Hello,

I've checked my processes list and my systems32 folder to find the said files for both viruses/worms...

I found my cmd.exe in my systems32 folder and when I run it it runs fine. Except, when I type in a command it doesnt execute it, the cursor just skips a line.

I have AVG free edition for now and keep it updated...

My log, (I haven't restarted and haven't closed a process so its not right after reboot--Didnt wanna reboot because I have alot of stuff open)

Thanks

I wanna use cmd so Im very anxious to get it working again...

Bump

[Squashman]

Remember that this is a weekend. You might want to ask a moderator to move this thread to the security forum.

In the meantime, just type start > run > cmd.exe

[Brin]

Thanks,

I ran cmd.exe sucessfuly that way but, when I type in a command, depending on the command it says this:


?

[Dan O]

Here's a fix from Microsoft, see: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;245184

Please let us know if it works.

[Brin]

But I'm on xp. And I dont have a Winnt\System32 dir.

Should I try to find a command.com file for xp and then replace mine with that?

[Dan O]

Windows XP is just an upgrade of Windows NT.

The link to the article refernences the old location and .exe.

For Windows XP use:

C:\WINDOWS\system32

And replace the file CMD.EXE.

[Cheeseball81]

There's infection in the log.

Save the report to your desktop.

Reboot.

Post a new Hijack This log and the results of the Ewido scan.

[WhitPhil]

I think you will also find that it is not corrupted files, but a virus that has dropped COM files that are being run instead. CMD and NETSTAT are 2 of them.

See this thread

So, even if Ewido cleans out the noted infection, double check for the presence of those COM files.

[Dan O]

WhitPhil,

Good idea, it maybe a virus.

The links listed:

Picrate
Alcra

Look good.
