Region/language settings?

[CRice00]

I have a windows installation on a site and the title bar continually displays:
16/06 Chuc Em Iuon vui ve & Hanh Phuc
After checking the language settings, it's set for US English, I tried to set it to another English language option/reboot and then bring it back to US English and reboot, but I still get Vietnamese in the title bar. Has anyone seen this before/have a fix for it? Thanks in advance for any help.

This might be of some help...

If the OS is in Vietnamese then you can't change it.

Changing the regional settings only affects input. The user interface will remain in the language the original installation was in.


Windows 7, and I believe Vista does this too now. Have the option of downloading additional Language packs.

Windows XP does not.


If the OS is in English, then there may be something else going on.

It is a US English version. So this is definitely something else. Also the title bars start out in english but convert to vietnamese after like 5-10 minutes.

Under the Languages tab in Regional an Languages Options, is the "Install files for complex script and right-to-left languages (includes Thai)" ticked? If so try removing such a tick.

If this is just a recent occurrence perhaps doing a System Restore can sort it out for you?

Windows XP does not.

MUI pack is available for EN versions of XP... so basically what you had said was correct, and since Vista and W7 both only come in ENG and other languages have to be installed (I think FRE and GER are also localized)...

i am having the same problem as CRice00.
All the page bars change to "16/08 Chuc em iuon vui ve & Hanh Phuc" within a few seconds.
Did you manage to solve this problem & how ?

I would also suggest, that you all scan the PC's involved, with MBAM and SuperAntiSpyware...

I agree with Ben, this is definitely a worm infection..

Characteristics -

Upon execution the worm changes the title of any running processes to "16/x Chuc em luon vui ve & hanh phuc" on 16th of every month
