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!

Virus or someone just after me... Paranoya issue?

Asked by Zaurb in MS Forefront-ISA, Network Management, Email Anti-Virus

Tags: paranoya

I have a question which I think doesn't fit into any category. I'm new in the office where I work in now. The first week when I came to substitute the previous network admin was terrible. For some reason computers in the office (3 networks) where infected by virus. I had to walk around the office (> 100 pcs) and clean them up, install antispyware and windows updates. Th second month I've implemented WSUS and installed the deployed latest version of CA antivirus. I've been keeping an eye on regular apdates of computers on the network and everything was fine until today. One of pcs didn't have updated antivirus and started to send smtp requests, spam messages I believe, because we where blocked by spamcop.
The whole office wasn't able to send any emails externally of our office. All email where returning back with ndr saying that spamcop blocked our IP. I did my best, I found pc that was sending the report, I've closed smtp ports on ISA since we use only Exchange.
Now seems we are unblocked and email is fine...
Just trying to share with you. How comes that this office have never had any problems before me and when I came so many problems occured just like that?
I know there's no my fault, but users think it's my fault. I don't get any help or support from other two IT guys. One of them is a technician, another keeps resolving problems with Navision. I do the rest...
All office personnel was thinking that it's my fault that email was blocked for the day.
So frustrated. My first project which is about to fail...
Sorry.. It's not a question or anything, just sharing. Hope I won't be banned for this post. PLease, delete it if it's out of this site scope...
