Strange Output On Ping

Hi all,

I'm working on a computer that suddenly had it's NIC drivers
disappear, and after reinstalling the drivers I get the following
output from a ping prompt:

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>ping google.com

Well from what im seeing the ping.com program probably got messed up
somewhere along the line. looks like the program normally takes the
retrieved DNS information and displays it, I would assume with no other
information that PING just got messed up and needs repaired or reinstalled,
just a guess im no programmer.

Ping.exe not ping.com.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\ping.exe

Ping.com is from a trojan/virus/worm. CMD.COM, NETSTAT.COM, PING.COM,
REGEDIT.COM, TASKKILL.COM, TASKLIST.COM and TRACERT.COM are all created by a
trojan/virus/worm.

So it was... well, that's no good. The computer belongs to a friend of
mine, and I have a feeling I now know where their recent identity
theft problem came from. I wiped it clean and reinstalled from
scratch, and it runs good as new now. Thank you for your advice and
time!

The only thing that looked strange in your original post was this.
Pinging google.com [°ÿ] with 32 bytes of data:

This part [°ÿ]. Everything else looked fine.
