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!

DNS Issue - Pings to anti-virus/spyware sites resolving to 127.0.0.1

Asked by techtogo in Networking Security Vulnerabilities, Windows XP Operating System, Windows Network Security

Tags:

I've got a system that had a bunch of spyware on it and I've been able to remove the bulk of it, but now the only problem left is that when I try and browse to certain websites (grisoft.com, symantec.com, Windowsupdate.microsoft.com, etc) it resolves the address to my local loopback address (127.0.0.1) and then oftentimes will do a Google search for that URL and the results will point me to spyware riddled websites.

I've done scans with AVG, SuperAntiSpyware, HijackThis, and even some manual removal of items, but I'm at a loss on why this is happening.  I've checked my Hosts/LMHosts files and there aren't any entries in there either.

Hopefully someone can please help me out with this.  I'd like to avoid having to reload this PC if possible.  Thanks!Start Free Trial
