Arabic virus ?

[uksomchai]

Hi, I recently noticed on my old laptop that if I right click on a drive all my RAR options are now in Arabic. Apart from that nothing seems to be altered. I have McAfee antivirus which I have run several times along with malwarebytes anti malware, spybot, CCleaner and herdprotect and none of them have found anything. I have also run them under safe mode as well. Now running windows 10 and everything is fine apart from this. The only thing I can find on Google is Tazebama dll but nothing other than starting to mess with the registry to get rid of it. Any of you computer experts have any ideas. The other option is to just reinstall 10 and wipe the C drive clean

Cheers Chaps

what are RAR options ?

Wikipedia: RAR is a proprietary archive file format that supports data compression, error recovery and file spanning. It was developed by a Russian software engineer, Eugene Roshal (the name RAR stands for Roshal ARchive) and the RAR software is licensed by win.rar GmbH. Microsoft: A RAR file is a compressed file (similar to a zip file) that uses the file name extension‌ .rar. A RAR file can be transferred to other computers more quickly than uncompressed files.

Also according to the Wikipedia entry: Several programs can unpack the file format. RARLAB distributes the source code and binaries for a freeware command-line "unrar" program, although this code is not under a free software license. This program can decompress/extract, but not create, RAR files. As of November 2014 some 3rd-party programs documented as "supporting the RAR format" did not recognise RAR5 files.

Check, or reinstall, your rar application. It may have just adjusted the language in the app settings.
