Command prompt windows keeps popping up and disappearing

I came across this problem 2 weeks ago where cmd.exe windows pops up every hour or so and immediately disappears and minimizes/kicks me out of fullscreen applications like when I'm playing a game which is very annoying. I've ran full system scans for viruses with Avast and ran scans with Malwarebytes for any kind of malware but found nothing. I also tried running an SFC scan to see if there was any missing/corrupted files causing these command prompts from popping up but there was none. Disabled my startup programs in the task manager, went to msconfig to disable all the services, and ended all the task in the task scheduler to see if the command prompts would stop but they still keep popping up. I downloaded an application called Process Monitor that keeps an eye out for background processors and found the paths for the cmd.exe windows that keep popping up and they show up to be like this.

cmd.exe - Path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\conhost.exe
cmd.exe - Path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\conhost.exe
cmd.exe - Path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\bitsadmin.exe
cmd.exe - Path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\bitsadmin.exe

And these are the command lines for all of them

Command Line: /C C:\WINDOWS\system32\bitsadmin.exe /COMPLETE task3 && C:\WINDOWS\system32\bi3.exe /sparam=gadzftpbl0cshmoau,1d2b95df-be00-4d2c-8598-b6e44401d65e, /rnd=0 2>nul

This is only the lead I have and I feel like the command line is the culprit here but I'm not sure what to do. If anyone could help me out that would be much appreciated.

 

Bitsjobs cmd prompt random pop ups


Hi all,

After an attack of intrusive software which I have now resolved I keep getting command prompt popping up for a split second. I managed to capture the command with a screen recorder and slow motion play back..

After reading a thread from 2014 on here I followed the advice given and tried to list the jobs but it reads listed jobs 0.

Any advice. this pop up is driving me crazy!
