An antispyware program is not an antivirus program. Problems with
cmd.exe are usually indicative of virus infection. Scan with either
Sysclean (first link below) or Dave Lipman's Multi-AV (second link
below).

After your scan with one of these first-line antivirus tools if you do
not have a full-featured current version antivirus (one that is not
earlier than 2004 and for which the subscription is active), get an
antivirus installed, update its definitions, and do a thorough scan in
Safe Mode.
