In some cases after Windows installations 7, in some programs krakozyabrs appear instead of Russian letters. Many call them hieroglyphs, but this does not change the meaning - these are symbols that from the reader’s point of view do not carry any meaning. There is no need to reinstall the system because of this; there is a simple and effective way.
Krakozyabry instead of Russian letters
In fact, these are not hieroglyphs, but just a glitch in the encoding. This can happen if the settings are incorrect for programs that do not support Unicode. To solve this problem, you will need 2 actions: make changes to the registry and select Russian as the language for programs that do not support Unicode.
To begin, open Notepad and create text document with the following code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
“Locale”=”00000419″
“LocaleName”=”ru-RU”
“s1159″=”"
“s2359″=”"
“sCountry”=”Russia”
“sCurrency”=”r.”
“sDate”=”.”
“sDecimal”=”,”
“sGrouping”=”3;0″
“sLanguage”=”RUS”
“sList”=”;”
“sLongDate”=”d MMMM yyyy ‘g.’”
“sMonDecimalSep”=”,”
“sMonGrouping”=”3;0″
“sMonThousandSep”=” ”
“sNativeDigits”=”0123456789″
“sNegativeSign”=”-”
“sPositiveSign”=””
“sShortDate”=”dd.MM.yyyy”
“sThousand”=” ”
“sTime”=”:”
“sTimeFormat”=”H:mm:ss”
“sShortTime”=”H:mm”
“sYearMonth”=”MMMM yyyy”
“iCalendarType”=”1″
“iCountry”=”7″
“iCurrDigits”=”2″
“iCurrency”=”1″
“iDate”=”1″
“iDigits”=”2″
“NumShape”=”1″
“iFirstDayOfWeek”=”0″
“iFirstWeekOfYear”=”0″
“iLZero”=”1″
“iMeasure”=”0″
“iNegCurr”=”5″
“iNegNumber”=”1″
“iPaperSize”=”9″
“iTime”=”1″
“iTimePrefix”=”0″
“iTLZero”=”0″
“Nation”=”203″
Then save it in a file called RUS in WIN7.reg and then execute it (don’t forget to select the “all files” file type when saving, otherwise you will save your document with txt extension and it won't start). After this, restart the computer. All that remains is to go to the control panel, select “Clock, language and region”, select “Change keyboard layout and other input methods” and go to the “advanced” tab. Here we look for the item “Language of programs that do not support Unicode” and select Russian. reboot.
Now all programs will display characters correctly and the encoding will be selected exactly the one we need. No more krakozyabrs and hieroglyphs.
How often does it happen that in the music player, instead of the title of the song, some kind of gibberish is shown. You can get rid of hieroglyphs in Android songs in this article.
Why and where do Hieroglyphs come from in Android songs?
All music songs have tags that are necessary to display the song title, artist, include lyrics and cover art. Unfortunately, not all players are omnivorous and accept encodings, and because of this, the incomprehensible and unreadable text that you are probably seeing now appears.
In order for the hieroglyphs in songs to disappear, you need to change the fonts, which is highly not recommended. This method is not recommended due to the fact that you can “move” the smartphone or be left without the necessary signs or letters, but with correct display songs.

Krakozyabry- What kind of word is this interesting? This word is usually used by Russian users to describe the incorrect/incorrect display (encoding) of characters in programs or the Operating System itself.
Why does this happen? You will not find a definite answer. This may be due to the tricks of our “favorite” viruses, perhaps due to a malfunction of the Windows OS (for example, the electricity went out and the computer turned off), perhaps the program created a conflict with another OS and everything went haywire. In general, there can be many reasons, but the most interesting one is “It just broke down like that.”
Read the article and find out how to fix the problem with encoding in programs and Windows OS, once it has happened.

By the way, I also found myself in this situation once and I still have a file on my desktop that helped me cope with it. That's why I decided to write this article.
Several “things” are responsible for displaying the encoding (font) in Windows - the language, the registry, and the files of the OS itself. Now we will check them separately and point by point.
How to remove and correct krakozyabry instead of Russian (Russian letters) in a program or Windows.
1. We check the installed language for programs that do not support Unicode. Maybe it's lost on you.
So, let's follow the path: Control Panel - Regional and Language Options - Advanced tab
There we make sure that the language is Russian.
In Windows XP, in addition to this, at the bottom there is a list of “Conversion table code pages” and in it there is a line with the number 20880. There needs to be a Russian there too
6.
Last point, in which I give you a file that helped me fix everything once and that’s why I left it as a keepsake. Here is the archive:
There are two files inside: krakozbroff.cmd and krakozbroff.reg
They have the same principle - correct hieroglyphs, squares, questions or exclamation marks in programs and Windows OS (in common parlance) krakozyabry). I used the first one and it helped me.
And finally, a couple of tips:
1) If you work with the registry, do not forget to make a backup ( backup copy) in case something goes wrong.
2) It is advisable to check the 1st point after each point.
That's all. Now you know how to fix/remove Crackers (squares, hieroglyphs, exclamation and question marks) in a program or Windows.

Do some windows with hieroglyphs, rockets and shields constantly appear on your desktop? This is an antivirus developed by our Chinese brothers, which, in its essence, is exactly antivirus program. At the same time, since this software is installed without the user’s consent and independently performs actions on the computer, it can be considered malicious. In this article we will figure out how to remove the annoying Chinese virus.
The programs discussed below are presented in two varieties - Baidu And "Tencent". Both of them have similar properties and can run in parallel on the same computer. Pests are located in the appropriate folders.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Baidu Security\Baidu Antivirus\5.4.3.148966.2
C:\Program Files (x86)\Tencent\QQPCMgr\12.7.18987.205
Programs register their components in startup, the Explorer context menu, and launch processes. Let's look at deletion using Baidu as an example. Both methods given below are only the first stage; after completing it, you need to perform some more actions, but first things first.
Method 1: Uninstall using programs
To remove Chinese viruses from your computer, the easiest way is to use a program such as. It can not only remove software, but also clean the system of remaining files and registry keys. In addition, Revo can detect those programs that are not displayed in the list, including in "Control Panels" Windows.

Additional operations
By following the above recommendations, the Chinese virus can be removed, but some files and folders may remain on the disk because they are blocked by running background processes. There will also definitely be “tails” in the form of keys in the registry. There is only one way out - boot the system into « Safe Mode» . With such a download, most programs do not start, and we can remove everything unnecessary manually.

- To search for files and folders, you can use the standard Windows function or special programs.
We enter the name of the virus into the search - “Baidu” or “Tencent” and delete all documents and directories that we can find.
- Next, go to the registry editor - press the key combination Win+R and write the command
Go to the menu "Edit" and select the item "Find".
Enter the name of the virus in the appropriate field and click "Find Next".
After the system finds the first key, it needs to be deleted (RMB - "Delete"), and then press the key F3 to continue the search process.
We do this until the editor displays a message that the search is complete.
