You will be asked to install a language pack. It is not a virus and comes directly from Microsoft. You're computer will run as it always does. It will simply have the ability to view Korean characters as well.
Sidebar: A visitor informed me that when you follow the instructions below, Windows will ask you to insert the Microsoft Windows CD-ROM. If you do not have one, or if the instructions below do not work for whatever reason (such as you cannot get Korean to appear on the 'Add' list), there is an alternative. Go to this Microsoft page and follow the instructions. This will also install the Korean language support files.
Open your internet browser, and go to a page with Korean characters on it (makes it easier to see when it is working);
Internet Explorer
Netscape
Mozilla Firefox

Thanks to Lydia, a Linux user who visits this site, we now provide you with information on how to get the characters working with Linux. I hope it helps! Quote:
"For Debian you just need to apt-get the font package "ttf-baekmuk". For this
and other distributions, there are very good explanations on the following
Wikipedia page:
East Asian Characters"
The wiki page is extremely useful. Check it out!

Trouble?
First, check out the following useful links. The first is a wiki page that contains information on installing East Asian Language Fonts on all different kinds of OS (Windows, Mac, Linux). The second is a Microsoft page that provides Windows users step by step instructions (with pictures of every step) for installing and setting up your computer to fully work with Asian fonts (typing the fonts as well).Wiki Page - East Asian Languages
