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! |

Asked by CluelessNI in Windows XP Operating System, Search Engines, Anti-Virus
A friends computer recently stopped finding the internet. They believed they had received a virus through MSN. The PC is also incredibly slow at booting up, although I believe this is due to the large number and nature of programs loading at startup (MSN etc). I had stopped these in MSConfig and it did improve. However the main concern is that IE constantly returns the error' cannot find page'. This is despite the fact that a braodband connection (Tiscali) has been sucessfully made. I also tried the Winsock fix to no effect. Despite this I re-installed Tiscali broadband and was able to access the internet OK. However this was shortlived anf after approx 5 mins, the error 'cannot find page' returned. I also noticed that there was another error that stated 'Buffer overrun detected in C\:windows\Explorer.exe etc and this is my main concern. The pc has McAfee installed and, on checking the logs, I noticed there had been a number of viruses/trojans qurantined/healed which proves to me that McAfee has been doing its job. I also tried disabling the McAfee firewall but still could not load an internet page so it is not a firewall issue.
