Help
After running Combofix my computer is set to code page 1252 which displays very weird stuff. I was able to reset it back to code page 437. However when running DOS software it still displays characters from 1252. While my computer is booting up Windows if I launch DOS software it will display 437 characters but if I launch DOS after Windows finishes booting then DOS displays 1252 characters.
I am running Windows XP Media Center Edition, Version 5.1, Service Pack 3

On this image http://keyhut.com/chcp.jpg the top is what I get when I start a DOS app, the bottom is correct and is after I use the command CHCP 437 from the command prompt to change the code page.

Even when you download the DOS application again, have you changed settings at all on the command prompt window?
Go to Properties and then the Font tab and see if the correct fonts are listed.

I am the author of this application so I do not need to download it. I run this on several computers so I know the app is good. Plus I have many DOS apps and it happens to all of them.
I have checked the properties and they are correct. In fact when I set the font to "raster fonts" I get the correct characters, with Lucinda Console I get the weird stuff. I have had my DOS apps set to Lucinda Console for many years and this only started happening after I ran Combofix.

try reimporting the Lucinda Fonts fonts from another computer and see if that fixes the issue.

Would you still happen to have the Combofix log available for analysis if it is required?

I had a rootkit redirect that would send my Google searches to somewhere else. I could not get rid of it with Norton, Adaware, or MalwareBytes.
Where would ComboFix save the log?
