I've been experiencing this annoying issue where a command prompt window keeps appearing at random times. It pops up with an error message saying that a program, which I don't even have on my computer, cannot be found. I'm worried it might be a virus. How can I figure out what's causing this?

Have you ever installed that program before? It's a good idea to run Malwarebytes, just in case there's any malware on your system. After you clean that up, you can investigate startup processes for anything unusual.
You might want to check for malware as this could be a sign of it. A good step is to download AutoRuns from Microsoft. Running it as an admin can help you identify what's causing the cmd prompt to show up. Look for anything related to 'PDFProSuite' and uncheck it if you find it. It might be set as a scheduled task or a startup item.
Here's what it looks like in my AutoRuns output! (screenshot)
I downloaded AutoRuns and found 'PDFProSuite' listed there too.
