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.

How do I get rid of the BO:Writable -or- the BO:Heap virus alert

Asked by sla0610 in McAfee Anti-Virus Software, Anti-Virus, Enterprise Anti-Virus

Tags: Cannot get rid of the BO:Writable -or- the BO:Heap virus alert

Problem: I have a desktop PC that has contacted the BO:Writable BO:Heap virus alert ... and I can't seem to get rid of it. I have tried many things, but all to no avail.

Scenario: 1. When the user tries to use the internet (IE 6), they get the following virus alert from McAfee:
Name: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe:KERNEL32.GetProcAddress
Detected As: BO:Writable BO:Heap
State: Blocked by Buffer Overflow Protection
2. All other software works perfectly fine ... .no issues/problems ... only IE6 is the problem.

Current State: 1. Currently we have McAfee's Enterprise Solution 8.5i as our virus protection. The patch
version is 5; scan engine is 5200.2160; dat version is 5303.0000; created on 05/26/08;
buffer overflow and access protection dat version is 354.
2. We are a Microsoft shop, so using another browser is not an option.

What I have done: 1. I have run a McAfee virus scan and nothing was found.
2. I installed Spy Sweeper and it found spyware but did not rid the PC of the 2 alerts.
3. I downloaded BitDefender and ran it ... it too found stuff but did not rid the PC of
the above 2 alerts.
4. I installed Symantec's Endpoint Protection ... and that froze on me while running.
5. I have investigated experts-exchange and so far, "it seems" that things I have tried
experts-exchange has suggested.

Other things: 1. The PC is a corporate controlled PC, so I can't change the buffer overflow protection.
2. I don't want to re-format the hard drive, but if I have to ... I have to. Since the users can
get to their data, I may just copy the data to a memory stick and put it back on when the
hard drive is re-formatted and all software is re-installed ... again, I don't want to, but if I
have to I will.
3. However, I find this a challenge and I want to understand how to remove this message
in case it happens again on another PC.
4. I have been to McAfee's website and they do acknowledge that the above 2 alerts have
been found by McAfee's anti-virus software; however unless I missed it, McAfee did not
give a solution to rid the PC of the 2 alerts.

Thanks for your help.
