Strange context menu message

I'm a UK based user with English as the only language installed on my PC (Vista Home Premium 32 with all SP's updates)

I noticed today that when right clicking a Flash place holder in IE9, I got this message

The bottom three lines are a bit worrying!

The site I was looking at SHOULD have been a safe one (The Scottish court system) and I have up todate MS Security Essentials and Malwarebytes telling me I'm clean.

I'm fairly sure that the context menu entries are hidden in the registry in numerous places, but I do not know how to search for these characters (? Chinese).

Any suggestions where they might be hiding?

I did a restore back to an earlier Acronis image, and it's all fine. So no ideas why, but problem gone away
