Icons turned into numbers

My computer appears to have been infected by some kind of virus. The maximize, minimize, close and arrow icons have been replaced by numbers on all my programmes. The boxes where I tick things pages do not display properly either In addition, I seem to have restricted access to fonts, as only a few are now available on Word, and the IE displays are often unreadable... How can I fix this problem?
