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!

best and most efficent way to prevent inappropriate use of the internet

Asked by bswi in Windows Network Security

Tags: prevent, from

We have 30 win98 stations with NT workstation as the server all using LANtastic for networking on win98 stations - [works beautifully - sorry to see LANtastic all but gone].

Will soon be upgrading to Windows 2003 server and then the workstations will gradually move to XP or the workstation OS of the day.

Using Outlook for local email (ms post office on win98 station) and for external internet email.  Using Internet Explorer for a browser.

We have NAV CE on all stations - each updating indvidually cause we dont have a "real server".

We scan with ad aware and spybot (the free versions - yes we make small donations) to keep away trojans.

We are using PPPoe (Bell) and another ISP for email and domain hosting.

We are using a GVC GNET cheappie router to share the DSL line.

We have several pc anywhere connections.

We need a) internet radio blocked, instant messenging of all flavours blocked b) access to inappropriate web sites blocked, c) spam removed frmo emails d) some automated protection from spyware.

There are no technical people on site so any monitoring would have to be done remotely by our computer support firm.

Budget is a huge concern as always.  Anything $ 2,000.00 U.S. is not likely going to fly.

Is there one product that does all this?  The McAfee or Symantec appliances?

Do we need a combination of products?

All the best...
