Solution to cmd.exe recursion loop
I have discovered that my registry contained the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun
and/or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun
which pointed to cmd.exe! thus cmd.exe was executing itself whenever it started!
To read up on this functionality, run cmd.exe /? on a good machine and see the use of the /D switch.
It appears that either Spybot accidentally inserted this, or the malware that spybot was removing did so. Anyway... no blame folks.
