Ah yes, Windows...

Not only for viruses, I saw legitimate software creating those console windows to run.

Good spyware doesnt show those either, they're not a sign of malware but of sloppy coding.

[-] magikmw@lemm.ee 14 points 7 months ago

Not always. Having spent significant time of the entire projects to hide console and powershell windows, I think Windows is just crap.

Yes, there was a good cli-tool for this, until it didn't work anymore.

A tool for this...
Running a program by another program without interrupting user should be a basic feature of an OS!

You would probably love Oberon.

[-] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago

I'm pretty sure some drivers do that

My work PC does it on boot. Opens and then closes like 8 command windows.

Well that probably is malware but installed by your company

or our corporate overlord who knows, windows itself is spyware

[-] smileyhead@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 7 months ago

Just look into journal and logs what processes were started by a terminal window...

Oh... Right.

Startup scripts most likely. A sign of a bunch of legacy tech in your environment.
