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!

Internet Connection not completely working

Asked by bsemailbs in Miscellaneous Software, Network Software Firewalls, Web Browsers

Tags: Microsoft, Windows XP, SP3, Fully Updated

I had a virus, specifically the TDss trojan. At first it just redirected links to go.google.com.

After running Spybot, ZoneAlarm, MalwareBites, Hijack This, SuperAntiSpyware, SDFix, ComboFix, and AVG, I finally got rid of it. (I think)

All of the programs were able to find parts of the virus, and I was able to delete the entire thing. I also did manual searches through the registry, and It is no longer there.

Also, It is no longer in the Hardware devices list.

Problem is now, the internet works for some programs, like instant messaging programs and games. But for the anti-virus/spyware update programs, it wont connect; as well as Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Opera. The browsers cant connect to any website.

I use NetStat when trying to connect with a browser to a website, and it looks like its trying to connect to my computer.

It says "Localhost:1959 Syn_Sent" and then I refresh the NetStat, and that entry is gone.

When I ping various websites, google, yahoo, msn, etc... I get replies in the cmd prompt.

Firewalls are disabled, Running in both Safe mode and normal mode.

Windows XP SP3, fully updated.

Hopefully that is enough info to find an answer. Thanks in advance
