For your information, a virus name may contain words like "autorun" and with ".Type cmd in the search bar, right-click "Command Prompt" and choose "Run as an administrator".How do I remove CMD EXE virus from my computer? All you need to do to stop it should be to go to Task Manager -> More Details -> Startup Tab and then you can see/disable the programs that try to run on system boot. I believe CMD opens to execute startup files on the computer, sometimes for programs which try to start on bootup. However, writers of malware programs, such as viruses, worms, and Trojans deliberately give their processes the same file name to escape detection.

The true cmd.exe file is a safe Microsoft Windows system process, called "Windows Command Processor".

There are a number of things that can cause this.
