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!

Spyware Wizard

Asked by Jeff_Burns in Networking Security Vulnerabilities

Tags: spyware, wizard

OK, this is the first time I have found a rogue security program that I could not get rid of. Spyware Wizard as hijacked the MSN home page only (MSN software). It has not affected Internet Explorer which is odd. The following programs were unable to 'see' it: CounterSpy, Spyware Doctor, Panda, AdAware, SuperAntiSpyware, AVG. The MSN home page is re-directed to "theta-main.hosting" and "zeta-main.hosting", which then pulls up the Spyware Wizard home page. There is NO code 10, R0, R1 on HijackThis regarding a hijacker or re-director. There are NO suspicious codes 02 or 03 either. Along with my own knowledge I even ran it through the .de analyzer website which found no problems to speak of. I have uninstalled MSN and reinstalled to find it still there. Any ideas?
