My friend installed some weird Chinese software on my computer

*Mr.Turtle* · 07-11-2010, 07:21 PM

It's called SogouInput. That day when I got home and turn on my computer, everything on my computer were turned into Chinese! When I opened IE, everything on the internet was in Chinese! When I tried to type, my keyboard was Chinese! I could type in only Chinese! Anyone knows about this program? I was totally freaked out because I have my bank account in this computer of mine...

If it were me, I'd uninstall it.

If you can figure out how to uninstall it, do that. You can also try reverting back to a restore point from before the software was installed.

I'd boot into Safe Mode and scrape all of that crap in there. Possibly just System Restore to a previous date.

This would be my suggestion aswell. I wish you luck, dude.

That's probably a better idea than uninstalling since you don't really know what it is or does. Maybe you should do an information check to be sure. I mean Google the name and see what you get. On another computer of course.

That's an application for the Android smart phone. How were you able to install it on your computer?

Anyhow... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&a...i=&safe=images
