Hi, I'm running Windows 7.64, with an English language systeem. I use Chinese and Japanase input. But suddenly Korean appears as the language when I log in to the system when awakening from sleep, and it's unremovable from the language bar. All the other languages can be "Removed", but Korean cannot (see attachment - where 'remove' is greyed out). Since it's appearing before the login, I suspect it's a rootkit?
I'm not a programmer, but am good at following isntructions. I thought my virus protection was pretty good but found out recently it is quite poor: I'm using Symantec Endpoint Protection as a background, and then manually scan any new files I download with MBAM. But after a big crash a few months back I scanned the laptop drive on a Linux Redhat (?), and it removed 50+ viruses. So I know my security's not great, despite these measures. I'm an unpaid graduate student, so can't afford expensive virus protection.
I think I've got something again, and am unsure how to go about getting it out, and worried it's tracking keystrokes or something. I've attached a Hijack this scan as a zip file.
Thanks for your help!
