I have not heard about a "chinese virus" but I did a google search and found there is a patch on the microsoft website. The website I found talking about the chinese virus is here : http://archives.cnn.com/2001/BUSINES...red/index.html
To be honest what you have doesn't sound like this "chinese virus" but maybe somehow your default language was changed or you lost some sort of language support that you need to redownload? Not sure if this will help but this would be my first course of action.
