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 ????

Asked by briancassin in Windows XP Operating System

Tags: xp

Hello everyone...

I have a Windows XP system that I am working on that I am pretty sure has a virus...

These are the symptoms

Cannot access the control panel
Clicking on internet explorer does nothing
Cannot access My network Places
In command prompt I am getting an IP address, gateway etc... I can release and renew but still no connection to the internet through Internet Explorer.

Also can ping 127.0.0.1 which is successful...

Tried to run windows messenger to establish a remote assitance connection... it asks to launch the web browser to register... the browser never launches all I get is a script error message.
Tried to reinstall Internet Explorer - no result
Tried to install Road Runner Medic - no result
Email will not work.
Checked under registry in H-Key-Local_Machine - software-microsoft-windows-current version - run .... one of the items listed is 17669.exe
When booting an error message occurs stating DLL intialization failed 17669.exe

I looked in the log files for app errors their are a lot of WCI ERRORS.... I do not know what this is but the description says "Cleaning up corrupt Content Index Metadata C:\system volume information"

Their is are also application errors stating MCShield6.0 is the faulting application in Kernel32.DLL

which MCShield is a component of Mcafee anti virus...

I also tried sfc /scannow which just disappeared.

I cannot access my computer

I can access system properties

I can access file and folders through the run command.

Application and control panel type windows will either not appear at all or just pop off the screen for no reason.

I am thinking it may be this virus but I am not sure
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.nofer.a@mm.html

Since I am unable to connect to any sort of internet or network connection I cannot run any online virus scanners.

I am wondering if anyone knows of any virus that may behave this way and/or of any anti virus software that can be downloaded and used for free.
