    Hi, I have noticed this entry on GPEDIT written in a weird form.
    Is this a virus? I tried searching to no avail
    Thanks

    That appears to be a new policy introduced in version 1903, I do not have it on an 1809 machine. It appears that Microsoft have not correctly localised for your system's language (Portuguese?). This is what it looks like on a UK English system.

    I use spanish, however I set it to U.S English and now it appears normal like your screenshot, later I will set it back to spanish and see but before it I tried to find it and I couldn't find. Weird. Maybe some update or anything?

    The weird text in your first screenshot is actually recognisable as being the same spelling as the English text, but displayed with a weird character set full of accents on the letters and some strange substitutions.
