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!

Hijacked Home Page/Internet Explorer 7.0

Asked by wskesler in Windows Network Security

Tags: explorer

This HP PC running Win XP Home had the home page hijacked by a page trying to sell something (and no other address could be typed into the address field and browsed to).  I told the customer to run AdAware, Spybot, and Ewido both in normal and in safe mode.  He said Ewido cleaned a lot of stuff, but the home page still couldn't be changed.
He wasn't patient enough to wait one more day for me to look at it, so he spent 4 hours on the phone with HP and paid them $45 to upgrade to IE 7 (go figure...I would have done that for free in 15 minutes).  Anyway, the home page and browser works now.  Is it possible that upgrading the browser cured all of the problem?  I'm skeptical because I know that stuff often buries itself in the registry.

So...here's the question.  Below is his current Hijack This log.  See anything that looks like it's waiting to attack again?  Or other problems?  What about all of those Winlogon Notify entries and line 018?
