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!

yellow shield icon in my task bar

Asked by JAToubes in Microsoft Operating Systems, Windows XP Operating System, Microsoft Windows Operating Systems

Tags: yellow, bar, icon, shield

I am running Windows XP home version, with sp2 .
Just recently I am getting that yellow icon shield prompting me to download and install the latest updates. I did that and the icon won't disappear, keeps insisting that the update needs to be installed.

I went to the windows/office update site and did a manual  scan and downloaded the item with success.  It was office service pak 2  or something like that.  I also checked that  after re-scanning that the site detected it actually installed.  

After doing that..  and not results .. I tried to uncheck that particular  update, but that didn't work, keeps coming back..   So finally I contacted Microsoft help and they gave me this elaborate 3 page thing , including re installing all the Office 2003 solftware, which I reluctantly did.  Then updated it and still  the dang icon is there, claiming I need to load the updates, that are already there.

I am of the belief tht the notification program has a glitch somewhere that isn't recognizing that update is  lnstalled.  

Anyone have a solution for it , other than either getting used to it going to be there until I upgrade to a new machine or I turn off the update service ( which is sometihing I really don't want to do.)

I am using ZoneAlarm Pro Internet Security suite 7.   The problem began shortly after I  downloaded PC Pitstop's optimizer.  I rolled back via restore and then restored the damage it did, and then uninstalled it.  I have defragmented the drive as well as a scan disk.
