Is there a way to see any program commands to make sure it is not harmful for your computer or does not belong to any malicious software kinds?
An up-to-date virus scanner will help protect against obviously malicious software, but don't be complacent. The best approach is to simply avoid running any commands or programs that you know nothing about. When advised to execute such a command, always do some research on the command first. The program may not be malicious but running a program you know nothing about can easily cause unintentional problems if not used properly. For instance, the DEL command can delete a specific file but if I told you to execute DEL /Y "*.*" that would delete all the files within the current folder without prompting. Unless you're familiar with the DEL command, it's not entirely obvious what it does. While most command line utilities provide help facilities (such as DEL /?), you cannot rely on this for all programs. Some will just ignore any invalid switches (such as /?) and execute anyway. So always research first. If a program is known as malicious it will quickly show up in a search of the internet, but keep in mind some programs masquerade as legitimate files. Check the file size, location, author, etc, to ensure you're actually dealing with the same file.

Others usually open a backdoor on the computer so it can download more malware off of the Internet.
