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!

prevent floating malware

Asked by blackdogtech in Internet Security, Anti-Spyware, Anti-Virus

Tags: malware, scareware, adware

what's up with the prevalence of "floating malware"? specifically, trojan.vundo. alpha antivirus, xp antivirus 2009, xp antivirus 2010 ad nauseum.
i am an IT Professional. what are you all using to protect your users from this crap?
I typically install Avast or AVG and the active version of MalwareBytes.
i tell my clients that the best malware preventer is the person behind the keyboard. but they are users (and my bread and butter, thank god!)
seriously though, i have better things to do with my time (and my clients have better things to do with their money) than to have to remove malware infections all the time.
what program is out there that prevents this crapware from infecting a windows system?
more importantly, who is developing this s**t and why isn't someone/entity doing something about it?
don't tell me to have them "get a Mac". i have told them. and it's not practical for some people to
switch OS's.
yeah, ranting, sorry. but i make my living fixing people's computers. and it would be nice to have some opinions from y'all.
i'm just looking for different options from pros to protect computers from the users.

big :)

thanks
