The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

!!! WARNING !!! -- NEW VIRUS FOUND !!!

Asked by sciwriter in Anti-Virus Applications

Tags: virus

Posting this here too (at Callandor's suggestion), to alert everyone that I found a new virus last night that is not found by any of the latest virus updates of McAfee or Norton, and is not found by Ad-Aware6, with the latest update last night.

If people complain of their system running about HALF speed, it is due to the WMIPRVSE.EXE virus.

Normally, wmipvrse.exe is a valid windows/system32 file, and with SP1, it stays in the WDEM directory at about 199KB, and has the SP1 distribution date of 8/29/2002.  But when you get the virus, you will find another file, of 38KB size in the Windows/Prefetch directory, with the same name, but a more recent date.  Deleting that file and rebooting seems to fix the problem, the original MS file seems unharmed.

The way I found this is, as soon as the system booted fully, I did C-A-D to bring up Task Manager.  A few seconds later, it popped into view, and the system process meter went to 100% immediately.

Tell people to check for it if they are experiencing slow systems in the next week or so.  Good luck.
