Possible malware (Uncertain)

Hello all

In an attempt to make my laptop faster on startup, I went into Norton's Performance section and reviewed all programs launching on startup. Something strange I noticed is this

"Windows Command Processor" is mentioned 3 times here. It is not mentioned when reviewing startup programs with Task Manager. On top of that, I cannot disable them as they re-enable themselves when I try to, while others can be disabled.

This "issue" is only present on my laptop and not on my PC, which uses the same anti virus and a lot of the same programs.

Full system scan with Norton and Malwarebytes did not bring up anything, so I'm not even sure if it's malware/spyware. Better to be safe than sorry though. I have no clue why it's mentioned 3 times and why it cannot be disabled. Apparently keyloggers work this way, although I am no expert on the subject so feel free to correct me.

Any input is very appreciated. OS is Windows 10, laptop is an Acer Aspire V3 -722G.

Thanks in advance
