Hello,

Randomly when im using my computer a program that looks like dos pops up about 3 windows, they are called cmd.exe

After searching google I found that it is a windows system thing. Then I found another website that said a virus uses this program to change your internet homepage, but mine hasn't changed??

Can any explain why this is happening?

This tells how to start CMD.exe when getting into folders ?? Maybe check Registry for undesired entries ??
