command linemalwarespywareviruswindows 10

There are 4 wierd .cmd files starting on startup called simply "q" They look like this
is it .. Malware? Spyware? i don't know if i should disable it or not, craziest part is that it does not show on MS Config or Task Manager, or the Powershell:startup folder, only in Glary's . However the program is not wrong, when i start my laptop from shutdown i see 6 diffrent command promt's open for a second. UPDATE: What??? Its cmd.exe? After deep research and scan with VirusTotal i found out its "cmd.exe" But why is it on startup? Why does it run some wierd 5 lines long command? the meaning of this is NOTHING

Best Answer

Its malware. Here is the summary:

Recording my laptop booting Found out it was a dumb virus clone of cmd.exe running on startup trying to delete the full documents folder, but it does not run as a admin so it just fails with a permisson error. I deleted it and removed it

Malware came from: Fake program (paint.net) i got it from some wierd website i found out the real site is getpaint.net, i ran is as admin but i think the developer was dumb, however i lost all my files in my primary folder i had alot of sensitive stuff atleast it was not that bad
