remove chinese softwares
someone brought in a system with some malware on it + chinese softwares
i ran the usual tools : AV, MBAM, roguekiller, adaware
i also removed old softwares with revo
however, in the context menu of this windows 7 system (updated to windows 10) i still see chenese entries, though in add/remove programs there are none to be seen (they were there before)
on some you can select uninstall - but then are presented with multiple choices in chinese
does anybody know how to delete these?
if someone reads chinese, i can post a screenshot of it

If the context items are not processes (See Process Explorer) then I will have to do some digging.
Run also junkware removal toolkit and CCleaner to reetry uninstallation of the s/w

A recent CCleaner update added a context menu editor to CCleaner which you can also use to disable or delete items that are displayed in Windows Explorer on a right-click. You do need the latest version of the program which you can download as a portable version or installer from the developer website.http://www.ghacks.net/2012/07/22/clean-up-windows-explorer-menu-items-with-ccleaner/
You identify items by their program name, publisher or file path which are all listed in the columns here. Usually, all it takes is to look at the program column to identify the majority of programs. Sometimes, you need to look at the file path column as well to identify entries like UAContextMenu.
Items that you disable or delete are immediately removed from the context menu without need for a restart of the system.

i doubt if spyhunter does better

I thought the software will have language support selection though.
Manual mean instead to Copy & paste those statement in the dialog and put all in a document and upload into Google to translate (https://translate.google.com/). Don't think there is an software or tools for automated means to translate the dialog displayed statements
