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!

Hotfixes fail, why? You too maybe?

Asked by doodlesmcgoo in MS Forefront, Networking Security Vulnerabilities, Windows Network Security

I find that these MS Installed Hotfix numbers, below, fail quite often, on my computer (I use the freely available, Belarc Adviser 7.2a, Computer Profile Summary, with current definitions installed, to help monitor my computer). Does anyone have any idea, why they fail maybe? I thought it maybe to do with uninstalling other software, but apparently not so, in my experience to date. Are you in the same boat perhaps? Also it is very rare that any other MS Hotfix fails on my computer: plus all the MS Hotfixes updates are current, too. Is there an interplay between these two Hotfixes?

Security Update for Windows XP

A remote code execution security issue has been identified that could allow an attacker to remotely compromise your Windows-based system and gain control over it.

Network Diagnostic Tool
KB914440
The Network Diagnostics for Windows XP tool analyzes information about your network connectivity to help you troubleshoot network-related problems with your computer.

I use XP Home SP 2, IE 7 + Google with  LAN, ADSL2+. I am a home (student) user.
I have the current 2007 Kaspersky Internet Security 6, in place,
My desktop computer is well maintained - and still in extended warranty. I have done a full computer scan with XP Repair Pro 2007, so on logically. I cannot find any clue on the MS website, or their forums either.  I cannot see any error reports for them either, i e , they just fade away in the night, so to speak!

And, the Solution is, to why they fail - if any?
