Hi, I`m fowarding this on for a friend that asked if I could help with this
problem.
Few days ago I had a problem in my PC I am writing the details of my
problem. My PC XP home sp2 was infected with a trojen, `Astry` and `Rok
brontok` now clean. But my problem is that in My computer
under "Tools" menu when I open "folder options" & then select "View" option
& under this option all the menu items are written in some Chinese/Korean
like
language not in English language I know the spy did this.
I`ve been into the Control Panel Then set Regional And language Options but
this made no difference Any ideas on how to fix this?

And how did you cleaned the machine Kim?
Did you run disk cleanup and this command:
sfc /scannow
HTH.

Once your PC is infected with a computer virus or worm, your
computer becomes compromised and nothing less than a reinstallation
of the operating system is going to work. Yes, you can try
to scan and eliminate the initial virus, but you generally
cannot undo the damage caused by the virus to the system
files. You'll need to reformat your hard drive and then
reinstall your Windows operating system.

After restoring your system, consider installing a good
antivirus program, such as Windows OneCare. You can
try it absolutely FREE for 90 days.
