The text of menus, messages and texts of dialog have been damaged in many of my programs.

The text of menus, messages and texts of dialog have been damaged in many of my programs.  He seems to have taken place after the last update patch this last week.  I don't see in place and place menu commands, dialog texts, status messages are series of rectangles as a square off the coast of character "O".  Some of these programs include MS Office Applications, Adobe Reader, Norton AV.  It does not affect Internet Explorer.  Anyone know what this problem is?

Have you run a registry cleaner program so-called?  If so, it is probably the cause of the problem.  If this is not the case, here are some things you can check.

Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To do that click on start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

I hope this helps. Good luck.
