That sounds like a program is being executed, it is most likely something that has nothing to do with EQ

lol no need. it's pretty much just the same box that pops up when you hit launch titanium before eq comes up, has more text in it though. gone too fast to read any of it though.

highly recommended.

that isn't anything from our end.

run full malware/virus sweep. use a good scanner like kaspersky.

that cmd prompt could be so many bad things. it could also be nothing, but why take the risk?

Make sure you get something like Rkill and run it first. It will shut down malware/viruses so you can actually scan and remove them. Alot of Viruses have built in systems that if it's running it will elude detection.
