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!

Windows Icons Don't Work After Malware Purge

Asked by AielloJ in Anti-Virus, Internet Security, Latest Threats

Tags: XP malware trojans windows

I used Avira to clean up two client PC's that had massive infections from an infected email. It was one of those that said "Your PC is infected. Click here to fix." You know what they did!!!

After Avira cleaned things up, both PC's are able to boot, but hardly any of the Windows icons work. Invoking MSCONFIG doesn't work. Whenever you click on and icon a Command Window pops up for a fraction of a second and that's it. Internet Explorer works and I can do some limited file exploring with it as well as Internet access. Putting in a Windows XP disk to attempt a repair resulted in a BSOD.

Thanks in advance.
