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!

IE opens porn webpages

Asked by raghunaj in Windows Network Security

Hi
I'm sure this is a most often asked question here. But this is a bit different.
Now this is what is happening, Since the last 2-3 months whenever I go online(through dialup)after about 5-10 mins, I see a a red install like box come which dissappers very rapidly and then this seperate IE page comes up (not a popup window, a full page), which is full of XXX rated pics and links. I can close this page and it goes away but then it will come up again after every 5-10 mins.
I have seen that the first couple of pages always point out to the same IP address (not a domain name) like http://216.131.84.28/tout.php or http://216.131.116.180/re/re36.html, which looks like a redirected page. After this the pages that open up always have full domain names.

Now these are the things I have done about it.
1) Scanned the whole hard drive with Spybot S&D and Adaware. They did find some things and removed them but then the page still comes up. An interesting thing thats happening now is that after scanning about 50,000 odd files, adaware locks up and I have to close out of it. So I removed and installed the new version (SE) with updates but that also does the same thing...doesn't happen with spybot though.
2) I have also used CWsheredder but no go.
3) Went into IE properties and changed everthing to default settings. Also disabled active x controls and third party browser extensions. No go.
4) Removed all junk from the hard drive like temp files, temp internet files, cookies, history etc. no go.
5) Also tried system restore in despeartion but again no go.

So if anyone can help me get rid of this annoyance (I have contemplated formatting the hard drive!!), I'll be most thankful. Just that its a big annoyance and its making me go slightly crazy.
