What I find strange about this is that the file running this command was C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe ?

In the past malware has used the cmd.exe file to try and get past defences being a windows system file.

So I did a google search on the malware/threat name.

• Google Search

Which returned some strange hits.

No problem here obviously, using Firefox.

Try just running a standard search and input the MsfEncode-U text into the search.
