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!

Spam Trojan(Bot)

Asked by Luuker in Anti-Spam Email Software, Networking Security Vulnerabilities, Enterprise Anti-Virus

Tags: ,

I have a client that is using Exchange (with 3 domain names 2 using POP connectors).  One of the user machines(workstation) is getting random responses from email that she is not sending through Outlook 2003.  The message appears to be Spam related of some sort.  This client has been infected with Spamming trojans in the past which has led that domain to be black-listed.  Here is the response she has been getting.  She has gotten only 4 today but all say the same thing:

I removed the username and email address and replaced with ######## but the domain is correct.

I have used 3 different virus scans to search and have found nothing on the PC.  

I have 3 questions:
1. Does this appear to be a Spamming Trojan(bot)?
2. How else can I scan the PC for such malware?
3. Is it possible this malware is on the Exchange server and not the client?  I have scanned the server for viruses and found nothing as well.
