Why Does Notepad Look Like This?

I was cleaning a virus off a friends computer when I noticed the letters at the top, File, Edit, Format, View, Help had white boxes around the words in Notepad.

Here's a screenshot:

I've seen this before when boxes are infected, but after cleaning them I see this go away, but this time it is still there.

Also the Task Manager looks the same too.

How can I fix this?

THANKS

It's just some goofy color settings he did in Windows.
It's not white boxes, it's a gray background.

Agree. When I look at your screen clip, I see a solid gray back ground with no white boxes.
