I think my computer may have contracted herpes or another STD.

If you look at the title of the Firefox window you will see it is in Chinese. What does it say? Is it coded instructions for an invading Chinese army?

I did a virus and malware scan and it picked up nothing. Is it just a glitch or is my pooter sick?

If I close the window and open a new one the Chinese goes away. It just pops up every now and then.

It's that Cornslicker virus or worm or whatever.

Is there a fix for it yet?

I dunno. I'm turning my PC off and sliding it under the couch till Friday.

My second PC used to do something similar. It was running Windows 98 (first edition) and later Windows ME (I was young and brash, OK?) and I had it connected to the Uni net. After a while, whenever it crashed (as it did) with Ye Olde Blue Screen messages about "system becoming unstable" or "fatal exception error" the messages came out not in English, but in French!

I have no idea to this day why that happened. And of course since those days I have moved on from that faithful little Pentium II to greater things.
