My friend is having an issue with this game. He can play the game just fine but he is saying that he gets japanese pop ups on his internet browsers and desktop notifications in japanese .

How do you fix this?

Hmm. I'd say have him download and run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. Sounds like some sort of japanese rogue.

Hit your computer really hard with a sledgehammer.


What more do you want? It sounds exactly like spyware and unless you can post specific details/pictures of his desktop when it is happening the best advice we can give you is to run a virus scan.

Running some spyware remover like mentioned above would surely help. A decent antivirus can prevent browser hijacks etc. too. I know some people used spybot search&destroy too and I personally use spywareblaster to prevent as much as possible aswell.

Else I can only suggest being careful with clicking on things, installing only what you need and find a good guide to help him secure his PC(google or probably something in some techsupport area here too).
