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!

Spyware Driving Me Crazy, ygivui.exe

Asked by CTSLA in Miscellaneous Security

Tags:

I seem to be infected with a stubborn spyware program that I can't get rid of.  When I use internet Explorer, multiple IE windows keep opening up.  I've tried all the usual removal routines;  Adaware (with vx2 addin), spybot, spysweeper, Giant Antispyware, hijackthis, dll compare, killbox, etc.  It seems to be caused by a file ygivui.exe.  It is in c:\windows\system32; sometimes it is visible, sometimes not.  I can delete the file and delete all references to it in the registry, but when I reboot, it is back.  I've found triggers for it in MSCONFIG, the Startup folder, and in the registry.  I'm not quite sure why, but it doesn't show up when I scan using Hijackthis, but it does show up in the Hijackthis log.  Also it doesn't show up in running processes using ctrl, alt, del, but it does when I use Process Viewer.  I've copied the lates Hijackthis log below.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
