Hi, this problem started roughly a week ago. While using my computer, a command prompt window would appear for a split second and disappear immediately approximately exactly every hour, which made it hard for me to find out what was going on. Without doing anything, this issue became fixed after a few days, with no command prompts appearing anymore. However, the command prompt appeared- not for a split second, but for at least 10 seconds on my desktop today. It read : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft office\root\Office16\officebackgroundtaskha...." Does anyone know what is happening and how can I stop this from reappearing again? Thank you!

In this situation, one thing you can do is install NoVirusThanks EXE Radar Pro. It's free, and it's very light and easy to remove. It monitors scripts, so it will tell you what the script is when it runs. NVT ERP is a great program for using because of this capability it has. It also gives you the ability to block any script.

Here is a link to the download, which can be found in the below thread on page 4 post 70:

Any questions on the program just ask should you decide to take a look. Very competent application.
