Title: Comman Prompts
Post by: feather on January 20, 2009, 08:54:14 PM

Vista Home Edition, Acer laptop.  Is there a way to tell what command prompts have been added to a system after setup.  There are some areas of the setup that I can not get to it says, I do not have permission.  Preinstalled software, did a reinstall not a restore and the password that was originally setup was still required- so, I believe that the parition as been altered too.  When doing the reinstall I saw four command prompt lines pop-up, one I was able to read but have lost what it was now.  The system does not have a virus but has been invaded to monitor the system.  Before reinstall the system would find many locations with the wifi now it just shows one.  I thought it was possible that a command pompt that has been added has effected that.  I would appreciate any help.  Thank you

My machine.  I recently realized that one should not log on as an administrator.  I do not have a virus.  What I have is an invasion.  Now others can monitor the computers activity, this is what I want to stop.  I have learned a lot but a little to late. 
Is there a way to list command prompts that have been added?  If I had the software, I would reinstall but it is a preinstalled system. 
I was going through the command prompts on this website and a few of them I was told I did not access  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/vista_dos_commands.htm
Can you help me.   :) ty

What do you hope to achive thru command prompts to "stop the invasion" ? ?
If the machine has been turned into a bot i would highly suggest a complete wipe and re-install of your Windows operating system.
