YES
  • Fixing local and remote computer problems.

  • Checking to make sure no virus/ malware/ spy ware are on the computer and if there are, stopping and deleting them.

NO
  • Destroying computers that do not belong to you.

  • Shutting down websites and servers that do not belong to you.

  • In addition to these there is almost an infinite number of things that you cant do because they are Illegal in some way shape or form.

In conclusion it may be illegal to use command prompt depending on what you are doing with it.

If you remember one thing from this article remember that, yes it is legal to use, but you cant damage property that you do not own.

EDIT:

No, its not illegal. Its just a software tool, like Microsoft Word etc. Keep in mind that Command Prompt is a shell of MS-DOS which was a OS made by Microsoft (same guys which make Windows), and so it can't be illegal to use. They do put in there for a reason.

But, like with any software, you could get prosecuted if you use the software for the harm of another person. Same goes for learning a programming language.
