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!

remote execution of 2.exe

Asked by ellandrd in Windows Network Security, Anti-Spyware, Anti-Virus

Tags: 2.exe, virus, trojan, spyware, remote user, EPO, Mcafee, virusscan

Since friday our users in the UK have started getting remote processes executed on their machines. the file is being executed from C:\WINDOWS\system32\2.exe

I have added a rule to our EPO server to find and delete this file as soon as it is created, as well as prevent it being executed, but the frequency of attack seems to be getting higher as our US office comes online, they are not managed by the EPO server.

Does anyone have any thoughts what the 2.exe file may be, and what other nasties may be being pushed onto our machines with it? more importantly, how we can prevent the issue moving forward without preventing us users ability to get access to the machines. our EPO management will stem the tide, but it only acts on a filename basis, so is by no means complete.
