It looks like they might be Unicode characters in a language your computer
does not support. Some possible explanations:
1. The application is confused about what language you system uses.
2. The application is for another language.
3. Your localization files are corrupt.
4. You installed an application recently that has corrupted the language
settings in the common dialog support modules.
5. There was a buffer overflow in the Port Explorer application and the
code has been overwritten where those words are stored.

Since the strings that are corrupted are more or less common strings from
the file system tags on the file being examined, I would suspect a problem
with port explorer, not the file being tested.

You don't say what version or origin of Port Explorer you are using. There
are many sources for it in Google.
