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!

Avast Warns i'm being attacked every time I go online - Trojans and adware - How do I stop this?

Asked by DuarteR in Miscellaneous Security

Tags:

Every Time I connect to the internet avast (free virus software I have running) tells me not to worry but it has discovered a trojan targeting me and tells me to abort connection.

The warnings always come in batches of 4 one after the other for 4 different viruses and then nothing for 10 minutes, then the same warnings again 4 at a time.

When I diconnect there are no warnings

Here are 3 of the 4 viruses Avast finds:

WARNING  DO NOT CLICK THESE !!!!!!

Win32:agent-IU Trojan

*http://85.25.115.187/users/fill/web/images/logo_big.jpg
win32:small-EK Trojan

*http://85.25.115.187/users/fill/web/images/sphlp32.jpg
win32:adan-094 Adware

I have done a virus scan with Avast, used ad-aware6 and spysweeper but the warnings keep coming.

It seems like there is some kind of bot constantly attacking my pc just in case I let my defences down.

Im on XP sp2 so im using windows firewall aswell.

Im on broadband and my IP goes through a proxy and changes everytime I reconnect.

Is there any way to stop the attacks?
