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!

Browser hijack

Asked by sfogle in Windows 98 Operating System

Tags: hijack

Hi I have been hijacked and can't seem to get it fixed.
When I open up IE 6 I get a page that says about:blank in the address bar.
When I change my home page back to google and close my browser, when I open it back up it resets to that page which has a search bar and what seems to be advertisements ( yea Im gonna buy from them). I also have a play strip poker advertisement pop up every so often.
I ran Spybot and got rid af all it found then I ran hijack this and put it in the web site to check it out. I re=moved all it sayed to and when I opened my browser back up it was the same so I ran Hijack this again and all of the  R-1  HKCU files that I deleted are back. Her is a posting of my log. Can you help me get rid of this?
