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! |

Asked by Howie_Lynn in Anti-Virus
Hi,
Norton Internet Security and virus protection v09 is crashing on my XP SP2 G18945P-Pro system after running succesfully for at least 3 years. The only thing changed was an upgrade to Photoshop CS4. I read through your knowledge base and it appears that Norton has become too invasive and using too may system resources to prevent the most unlikely of attacks. Like it's fumegating your house to kill a nat.
I have a Linksys Hardware firewall and all of my ports are closed. There is no access to my system except what I create through email and Internet visiting. I am afraid of "passby" infections so I need an application to protect whatever might try to attack my machine while I'm accessing something. I am a Comcast customer and have access to a free copy of McAfee. However, what I would really like is a Security application I can turn off when I'm using my system for none email or Internet processing. My system runs much much faster with fewer problems without the Security system than it runs with it. I could uplug my internet cable and run without Security if I could unload and reload the Security program. The only other choice would be to dedicate one of my removable drives to email and Internet activity and not connect to the Internet with my primary financial and graphics design system.
What would you suggest for a Security system and please comment on by dedicated Internet drive solution? Now I may have to climb under my desk and reboot to a different drive dedicated to the Internet everytime I want to check my mail. The other concern would be an infection of my BIOS which could migrate to all of my drives. But maybe I could scan for that before I shut down the Internet drive.
Thanks,
Howie
