What's causing this on my computer.

Notice the name of the file at the top of the screen--the strange W's in the path with a slash through them. Any idea why my files would be showing up like that? It looks like the forward slash has been replaced with that strange W character.

SuperAntispyware actually looks like a legit program:

Maybe it just doesn't interpret the / symbol. :ne_nau:

I wouldn't worry about it. The character you see (₩) is known as the "won", and it is a currency symbol that represents the Korean won. The directory separator character also appears on Korean versions of Microsoft Windows as ₩, because ₩ occupies the same position (0x5C) in Microsoft's Korean character set that backslash occupies in ASCII.

So a few things that could cause this anomaly are: (1) you are running the Korean version of Windows, or (2) the company that produced the software is using Korean keyboards, or (3) the program is using some incorrect Unicode character translation tables, or (4) the program is using a font that translates the backslash to the "won".

See the Wikipedia entries for "backslash (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backslash)" and "won (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Won_sign)" if you want all of the sordid details.

That makes sense. Thanks. My son who was a Korean missionary, just recently installed the Windows Asian language pack from the original installation disk of XP--so I bet that's what it is.
