#  this key has a registry value named autorun, which could contain command that is automatically executed each time cmd.exe is run. however, modification to this key requires administrative privilege. malware exploits this feature to load itself without user’s knowledge. suspect could also covertly run a malicious program under the cover of cmd.exe, by setting the autorun data to the executable file path.
