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!

XTEMP1.EXE process detected - apparent trojan, no antivirus is picking it up, how do I remove it?

Asked by cosecant in Anti-Spyware, HijackThis Software, Desktop Anti-Virus

I've recently bought a new laptop.  To transfer some of my backup files to this new laptop, I've been using my external USB hard drive.  After doing so, I've noticed a strange process appearing, 'XTEMP1.EXE'.  After doing some googling, f-secure has reported this as a trojan downloader.  I noticed that this same process was also running on my PREVIOUS computer as well, where my backups came from, so I'm assuming that the trojan/virus has replicated itself or infected this new computer via the USB hard drive.

I've tried killing the process, searching for *XTEMP* and deleting them all, but the problem keeps coming back.  I've downloaded the trial version of F-Secure in hopes of scanning, then removal/quarantine, but I've done that and the process is still there.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to need to run a HJT log, but it's been years since I've done so, can anyone give me the link, and the options I need to select?  I'll gladly post the HJT log asap.  Thanks for any further information and help you can provide.
