Is this suspicious?

I shutdown and then turned back on the PC, I havent installed anything new, But this poped up when I got to windows.

Could it be something nasty like a backdoor, I have done a scan and nothing is detected, But I think its strange its only just happend without anything new being installed.

does it do it every time you reboot?

it's very weird i would say :/
as far as i can tell, it's the commands to install a windows installer package from the command line. and i have no idea why it would just pop up sorry :/

run msconfig to check your startup proggies for anything that stands out.

try clearing all startup items and if you see anything under add/remove that says Windows Installer, uninstall it
