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!

Viruses / spyware / malware

Hi Experts!

My computer is again infected with spyware. I use Win XP Pro SP2. A month ago, I reformatted the HDD because I was not able to remove all of these spyware.
Now they are back and I don't want to reformat the HDD again. My anti-virus software is Panda and it stopped most of these spyware, but now it does not and I don't know why even if it was already updated. I bought Ad-Aware Pro and installed it on my PC. The software found lots of data miners, malware and spyware and was able to remove them....but when I removed them, the next day they were there and they were worse than before. Now I'm getting a blank screen on my desktop instead of my favourite picture and it shows my IP address plus a warning that someone got control of my computer. I checked all my firewall settings and everything looks fine from there.
Also, some of these spams infected somehow the Win XP Security Center, but they were removed by Ad-Aware. The problem is that now I get lots of messages saying that there are lots of vulnerabilities and threads detected. These messages keep to appear on the task bar and the browser opens automatically leading to a spyware solution. Something's wrong there. What can I do? Are there other better tools that can stop this?

Thanks
