task manager corrupt?

[wabamun]

My task manager shows some strange chinese character under all the user name entries. My name is nowhere to be seen.
Is there any way to correct this?

Make a full anti virus scan
Download and make a full scan with malwarebytes. Be sure to update first. Then if clean.
I would try a system restore from before the problem

I ran sfc /scannow. Got this message “windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.”. Ran maleware scan, fixed a few issues, no change to task manager.
I did a system restore to before the problem started, no change.
In task manager under processes, the user name shows chinese characters. Under users, it looks normal.
I am also getting an error when trying to run "manage" when right clicking "computer". 'C:\Windows\system32\twext.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error."
Thanks for the help.

SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

This needs to be run up to three times to repair all files. It can't do all repairs/ restore in one pass. It did repair/ restore some of them.

Thus when you get this “windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.” run it again.
Start it all over again.

Post back if the problem persists.

Ran system file checker 4 times. No change.
I tried to do a repair install but it froze at 17%.
Thoughts anyone?
Thanks.

Repair install usually fixes eveything. That was going to be my next suggestion.

I'm stumped as far as repairing. Someone else may have ideas.

Clean install is so drastic when a repair of some sorts should work.
Let me take a look and I'll see if I can find something else.

Just for fun maybe we should check for bugs your having those weird characters. Not really for fun but it could be a virus or something.

Download this. Malwarebytes
Free button on left top of page. Install then click Update tab and update. Then Scanner tab and run full scan. Remove delete anything if prompted.
It will also make a Notepad log. Save the log to desktop or somewhere you can find it easy. Then upload log with your post.

This is how to upload a file or picture if you need it.

Ran malwarebytes again. See attached log.
Strangely, I tried to run a repair install again folllowing the directions on this site. It informed me "You can’t directly upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. Go online to learn how to use Windows Easy Transfer to install Windows 7 and keep your files and settings. " This is weird as I am running Windows 7 home premium and this laptop never had XP installed. I upgraded from Vista.
Ah, fun times.

Did you delete/remove the bugs Malewarebytes found? Log says no action taken.

I'm going to look for Jacee or Corrine to help with the bugs. That is probably the problem.

I'm also having the moderators move this thread to Security section so our specialists will see it.

[wabamun]

Yes I did.
I copied the log before I did.

 

[Hopalong X]

Excellent.

Just checking. Waiting on Jacee or Corrine. They can check the log and see if we may need anything else. They are the bug experts.

We just got transported to System Security section and didn't even feel it.

 

[wabamun]

No worries.

Thanks for your help.

What does that mean? Anything special to get rid of it or is the OS trashed.

Malwarebytes deleted it but aftermath is ???

Corrupt Task Manager

If your antivirus and Malwarebytes does not find anything, you may have to take Windows back to a restore point before the corruption.

Do you have a system image from a known good config?

Hi! I googled this problem and was lead here. I haven't used my Lenovo Thinkpad t410 in over a week, and when I got back on it had this problem and everything is running like internet explorer. I could really use some help here, but there's no way for me to pay for anything, and I've never backed it up. (This is my first computer) I also would like to avoid doing anything that resets my cpu. I also don't have the disk for Windows 7, as I got this computer through a program at school.
S.O.S.!
