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!

Add progress bar to script to remove Norton AV

Asked by kevlause in VB Script, Visual Basic Programming, Windows XP Operating System

Tags: , , ,

I have this script to remove norton\Symantec antivirus. The problem is there is no feedback on if it is running or not. Then it randomly reboots the PC (not every pc just some of them). I wanted to use it in a log in script, but do to the reboot I don't think I can. My next choice to to at least add some feedback that the script is running or a progess bar or something can anyone help?
Here is the script (I want to thank Chey for this too!!!!)
