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!

Infected with Rogue Anti-Spyware Product/Smitfraud via 'Rich Video Codec v1.6'

Asked by slcthomas in HijackThis Software, Anti-Virus Applications, Anti-Spyware

Tags: , ,

I am running Windows XP SP2 fully updated and Trend Micro Internet Security 2008, Mozilla Firefox. I downloaded and installed 'Video Codec v1.6' from a site because they claimed I need it to look at the posters they advertise there. It turned out to be a malicious Smitfraud that installed itself to give me zillion virus warnings and installed three links on my desktop ( ErrorCleaner, Privacy Protector and Spyware/Malware Protection) who contain links to URL's and are undeletable. I did not go to any of the websites they link to.
From http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic17258.html I got Smitfraudfix.exe and run in in Safe Mode. Everything appeared to be fine BUT, some hours later the Desktop Icons re-appear out of nothing (I am connected to the www though) and the Pop-up windows came on again.  I followed the procedure at http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/uninstall/6833/Rich-Video-Codec-v1.6.html but it did not help.
