About a week ago, I turned on Minecraft, everything was fine for the first 5 minutes. Then an annoying virus shows up outside of the window, typing in random Chinese letters/symbols. Every time I turn on Minecraft it does that. I googled this problem and no one was able to help, for some crazy reason it only activates when I play Minecraft, I noticed it when I was unable to move my character. Please help me, I love Minecraft and would like to play it again.
Perhaps Uninstalling and Reinstalling Minecraft shall help? I've never had anything close to this happen, so I'm just shooting into space here.

the thing is , this is mostly keyboard-related, that i am certain of it , so it's mostly something around the language package being used when you run minecraft (you can select different language packages for your keyboard for every specific programs) , more then likely you have yours accidently set on traditional chineese or w.e when minecraft is running , either that or a virus changed it so
you can change that by running minecraft then clicking the icon on the image below and selecting your preferred language.

It's possible that you may be able to use something like Process Explorer to figure out what program that window belongs to. Then perhaps you would know what to search for to get more information. I've never seen anything like that myself.
The only other idea I have -- and this is totally a shot in the dark -- is that you could try uninstalling and then re-installing Java. I only say this because you say that this window only pops up when you run Minecraft, but I'm only guessing. (On the other hand, making sure you have the latest version of Java for your system may not hurt, anyway.)
