A cmd/ batch file windows shows up when i close firefox for a few secconds, why?

more options

When i close firefox, a CMD window appears and then dissapears and firefox closes. This has happened all after Norton removed a file due to it thinking it was bad (while scanning on its own accord) The file that opens the window is located here: C:\Users\Robert\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\jkqm25xu.default I think it may be one of the sessionstore javascript files.
