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!

Virus Problem killing Explorer & Internet Explorer in XP Home

Asked by JeraldLAV in Anti-Virus Applications

Tags: psyme

I believe my nephew's computers a Dell 8200 P4 has a virus.  The computer generates an error message window each time one tries to launch Windows Explorer or the internet Explorer.  I can get everything to work by booting the machine in safe mode.  The operating system is XP Home.  It has Norton Anti-virus 2003 on it.  Norton virus scan with the latest update failed to find any viruses.  

I had given up on fixing the problem and was in the process of copying my nephew's data files to my main computer.  In the course of transferring the files to my computer my McAfee antivirus software identified a virus in the transfered files.  The identification was vbs\psyme.  We removed the contaminated files from my nephew's computer but this has not fixed the problem.  This included the step of turning off auto-recovery of files in XP configuration.   I have rerun Norton Antivirus; it found no problems.  But, the computer still does nothing but send an error message when any program relies on explorer components is called.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Jerald
