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!

I tried using Lavasoft Adaware to remove most objects but there are 2 problems:

1) When scanning, windows pops up a box saying something about "System RPC Failed" and it will reboot thwe system in 1 minute. this usually means the scan can't be finished. If I abort the scan at the current time and clean all files already scanned, it takes out WinSock. This kills all internet access and the only way to restore it is to restore the quarantined files in Adaware. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

500 points is because it's coming up to 3am and I'd like to get home some time soon so, answers with alacrity please 8-D
