It's Greek to me

[Shirayasha]

Hi, I'm running Spybot 1.6.2 in American English. But after a Yahoo update of some sort last night (supposedly just to add identity verification questions), the update dialog now displays in something that looks like Greek to me. I'll try to attach a picture. How can I repair Spybot?

I don't think Yahoo! has anything to do with your language settings in Spybot.

Go to Advanced Mode>Settings>Language. English should be clickable.

Neither would I, normally. But it was while doing the Yahoo thing that I received a message about something trying to download itself to my computer (without asking). The message went by too quickly for me to read.

Everything else about Spybot is still in English. Only the update dialog changed, and I can't find a way to change that back.

Thank you for your reply!!

That message doesn't sound like good stuff. Does it look like it was from Windows?

I would suggest you uninstall Spybot-Search&Destroy, reboot, and reinstall a new copy.
