cmd.exe

when i switch my computer on and connect to the internet, i get a box appearing 4-5 times, all on top of each other....all cmd.exe. Anyone know what this is?

Something (which IMHO looks a bit dodgy) is opening these for a reason - I would run a virus scan and spyware scan and see what that throws up. But, as you will see from the link i posted, cmd.exe is not viral in itself.
