ROFL! clone53421=MichaelKristopei330=pudge=LOL
See subject-line above - because you've been LIBELLING ME HERE, rampantly, & pursuing me thru 3 diff. exchanges I was having with others (go for it):
First of all - Tell us if YOU, or Thor Schmuck (your "credible reliable reputable source" etc. (not)), actually possess degrees around the art & science of computing (or any really, I am curious on this account).
This is to see if you are this "expert" you seem to THINK you are. I already KNOW you haven't done anything of good note int his field in written respected publications, so that much is taken care of in that regard.
Ask your "Credible Source", Thor Schmuck, if he also lists PING.EXE (because it can or could do a PING OF DEATH), or if he lists SPYBOT SEARCH & DESTROY on his list (because it alters the HOSTS file, & CA says "that's bad", but, funny they don't list Spybot S&D either, eh?)
I mean, lol, look @ your "legal expertise" here (quoting you):

"cower in my shadow some more, feeb." - by MichaelKristopeit330 (1963782) on 2012-01-09 10:19
Oh, really? Care to show me a legal precedent OR ruling of that being the case, were I switching IP addresses to overcome the "10 posts per 24 hour limit" on AC users? I sign off as APK, so I am NOT "misrepresenting myself" here, in case you hadn't noticed, lol!
(Now, on "changing IP addy"? Uhm, who says I am doing THAT anyhow to beat the restriction - and so what IF I did? I could just as easily say I turned off my modem & PC, & upon restarting it?? I have a new IP address... pretty simple - I'd like to see you backup that b.s., with legal evidence to what you said, because, anyone can turn off their modem & upon restarting be assigned a new IP address, assuming they don't have a STATIC IP!)
Produce some US legal documentation of what you just said... thanks! I, for one, would like to see it - because it appaernty wouldn't account for folks that keep their power off when not using a system... so, show us your LEGAL proof of what you stated now above, ok?
NOW - You show me that, all of it, dated before you said this? I'll be glad to abide by it!
Additionally, so you know?
Well - Despite your calling me a malware maker & what not? I have written the most comprehensive security guide there is online, current version built in late 2007, as my New Year's Resolution of "do the right thing" & pay it forward... (&, the FIRST SECURITY GUIDE FOR WINDOWS afaik, back in 1997 @ NTCompatible.com for Windows NT-based systems... so, so much for your libelling me calling me a malware maker!) & it's gone well over 350,000++ views, to good review, testimonials of its efficacy, being made an "ESSENTIAL GUIDE" or "STICKY THREAD" (even MOST VIEWED or top 10 usually) on 15/20 forums its featured on, & more!

Any OS can be further security-hardened though
"OpenBSD is more secure than windows/OSX.whatever" - by YrWrstNtmr (564987) on Sunday May 02, @05:49PM (#32066704)
By default, perhaps yes. However, any Operating System out there today can be "security hardened" (including BSD variants such as MacOS X, because Apple themselves publish a guide for doing it that's pretty thorough & comprehensive on their website no less), including Windows, Linux (yes, even SeLinux bearing distros of Linux), MacOS X, Solaris, and BSD's other than MacOS X too. This is indicated by the existence of CIS Tool versions out there, and for each of them, and yes, it does do more to security-harden them all than the std. oem distribution setups they're issued with (inclusive of SeLinux bearing distros).
Examples of what the outcome is once it is applied, along with other layered security measures, in the case of Microsoft Windows-NT based OS of more modern varieties:

on Saturday May 01, @01:03PM (#32057022) HomepageTomhudson, you obviously do not read or are illiterate. The security guide of apk's covers far more than just hosts files use. It covers how to use layered security (many tools and options) to be safer online. See here, you need it: http://www.tcmagazine.com/forums/index.php?s=69ee646c6f6c227d431fa6ac15ed8c58&act=SF&f=87&st=0&changefilters=1 and at roughly 85,000 views there on that forums (and over 350,000 views in less than 2 yrs. time online no less across 15 forums where it was made a "sticky or pinned thread", an "essential guide", and being the most viewed at those forums plus highly rated, typically at 5/5 stars by users of those forums too) it appears to be doing quite well, see this small amount of testimonials from others (professional techs too, no less, in THRONKA):

Bloke who wrote that guide helped Dr, Russinovich
Thanks for the links, though, I've never read any of those guides, just had a lot of experience dealing with this kind of bullshit on behalf of others. Though I have read plenty of articles by the great Russinovich himself. Now those are some good reads.
The bloke who wrote the guide used to work alongside Dr. Mark Russinovich for the same company (Sunbelt) in the same period in the 1990's and the bloke even actually corrected 'the great Russinovich himself' in code, believe it or not http://www.pcmech.com/article/defragging-the-windows-page-file/ when he found that Dr. Russinovich had actually hardcoded the path to C: drive in pagedefrag.exe for the location of the pagefile.sys and to the eventlogs and registry hives (all can be moved to other drives to lessen the work C drive does, provided a user has multiple disks) and from what I read at Windows IT Pro, Dr. Russinovich even thanked him in email for it. That bloke posts here as anonymous coward, and signs his posts as 'APK'. His guide (cut from his post I found and bookmarked it here as) for securing Windows turns up results like this for users (quoted):

"Process Explorer and a few hours later I was back to normal (protip: malware "watcher" processes usually aren't smart enough to realize when they've been suspended. Comes in handy.)" - by RulerOf (975607)
on Tuesday April 27, @05:03PM (#32004704)This bloke obviously only read what was written in this guide for securing Windows, and its virus removal section in post point #20 http://www.tcmagazine.com/forums/index.php?s=610624dd0ca744a1833203a79296f8ee&showtopic=2662&st=0 or in the other forums where it's posted. The bloke who posted it did it all over the bloody web and though that's rather gauche, it's good he did. I say that because others are starting to realize the value of its points, such as the usage of Process Explorer for hunting and killing off malware. Use that guide, and Bob's your Uncle.
(This is not new news on that guide though, it is many years old now, and others are learning by it in how to use Process Explorer for malware removals. Nothing interesting whatsoever in what RulerOf did or used, because the information's been out there on it for years now).
Bloody hell, the way RulerOf's using Process Explorer could be done with taskmgr.exe instead (killing first level executables).
The true value of Process Explorer in these cases is to use it to find processes that hide themselves under other running processes (such as libs/dlls loaded in other apps like Explorer.exe, which taskmgr.exe will not show) or underneath services (like svchost.exe, which does not expose what its running beneath itself in taskmgr.exe in Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003 at least).

on Tuesday April 27, @05:03PM (#32004704)Bloody hell, perhaps you did not read that guide in that url above for how to secure windows after all. It covers securing the AT command, by its usage of the CIS Tool (this damn tool's incredible in that capacity and many more). Then again, once a bloke knows what CIS Tool covers, it's cake to put it into your regedit.exe favorites or to make custom MMC.exe for policy settings and again, Bob's your Uncle.

I see your comment quoted above there Clone, as well as you signature Clone in your attempt to libel others here on slashdot. So, isn't Jeremy Reimer the guy who had parts of his website removed for libelling APK by his hosting provider and Reimer was caught email harassing APK by his ISP, Shaw of Canada, when Shaw put Reimer on a tracking ticket for it (which Reimer promptly ceased his email harassment of APK once he was aware of that happening), and arstechnica strangely no longer puts up articles by the blatantly unqualified Jeremy Reimer?
Jeremy Reimer and his friends Jay Little also had their websites removed entirely from CrystalTech.com and from petitiononline.com also, because of their making death threats to APK just because APK showed that Exchange Server stalls due to memory fragmentation are stopped when a memory optimization program is used (microsoft's own called clearmem.exe) after Jay Little, whom Jeremy Reimer brought in because Reimer doesn't even have a degree in CSC or CIS related fields (not even an A+ cert, much less an MCSE or the like to his credit, much less actual degrees) or years to decades of professional hands-on experience in the trenches doing computer work, failed in stating verbatim "I am an Exchange Expert" and when Jay Little saw what APK put up, he tried to harass APK by nitpicking his posts at NTCompatible.com also, where Little stalked APK there and failed on issues regarding ramdisks/ssd and also Windows own error codes/crash codes which got Jay Little kicked from NTCompatible.com as it did on Channel 9 at Microsoft also? Seems that was what happened at Windows IT Pro here http://windowsitpro.com/article/articleid/41095/the-memory-optimization-hoax.html which anyone can read.
So much for your libelling others Clone. You can't even get that right and you certainly like lies and libel, which are against the law in the USA and in other nations also.
Clone, I also note that you also called APK, the person you refer to in your signature here, a "spyware maker" http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1591778&cid=31736454 , but he noted that Nir Sofer and Dr. Mark Russinovich have also had many of their wares classified falsely as spywares too, and that he took CA's 21 point test and his app did not violate a single point of their test and they downrated his app to "zero threat levels" because of this. APK also put up the very first guide to securing Windows back in 1998 which was highly rated at Neowin in 2001 and grew into the most viewed and most effective guide for securing Windows NT Operating Systems out there currently at 350,000 views strong and being made a sticky pinned thread, an essential guide, or being the most viewed and being usually rated 5 of 5 stars by readers of his security guide for Windows such as here http://www.tcmagazine.com/forums/index.php?s=f94b12f3d43b3b9446bed90155910842&showtopic=2662 .

So, isn't Jeremy Reimer the guy who had parts of his website removed for libelling APK by his hosting provider and Reimer was caught email harassing APK by his ISP, Shaw of Canada, when Shaw put Reimer on a tracking ticket for it (which Reimer promptly ceased his email harassment of APK once he was aware of that happening), and arstechnica strangely no longer puts up articles by the blatantly unqualified Jeremy Reimer?
Jeremy Reimer and his friends Jay Little also had their websites removed entirely from CrystalTech.com and from petitiononline.com also, because of their making death threats to APK just because APK showed that Exchange Server stalls due to memory fragmentation are stopped when a memory optimization program is used (microsoft's own called clearmem.exe) after Jay Little, whom Jeremy Reimer brought in because Reimer doesn't even have a degree in CSC or CIS related fields (not even an A+ cert, much less an MCSE or the like to his credit, much less actual degrees) or years to decades of professional hands-on experience in the trenches doing computer work, failed in stating verbatim "I am an Exchange Expert" and when Jay Little saw what APK put up, he tried to harass APK by nitpicking his posts at NTCompatible.com also, where Little stalked APK there and failed on issues regarding ramdisks/ssd and also Windows own error codes/crash codes which got Jay Little kicked from NTCompatible.com as it did on Channel 9 at Microsoft also? Seems that was what happened at Windows IT Pro here http://windowsitpro.com/article/articleid/41095/the-memory-optimization-hoax.html which anyone can read.
So much for your libelling others Clone. You can't even get that right and you certainly like lies and libel, which are against the law in the USA and in other nations also.
Clone, I also note that you also called APK, the person you refer to in your signature here, a "spyware maker" http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1591778&cid=31736454 , but he noted that Nir Sofer and Dr. Mark Russinovich have also had many of their wares classified falsely as spywares too, and that he took CA's 21 point test and his app did not violate a single point of their test and they downrated his app to "zero threat levels" because of this. APK also put up the very first guide to securing Windows back in 1998 which was highly rated at Neowin in 2001 and grew into the most viewed and most effective guide for securing Windows NT Operating Systems out there currently at 350,000 views strong and being made a sticky pinned thread, an essential guide, or being the most viewed and being usually rated 5 of 5 stars by readers of his security guide for Windows such as here http://www.tcmagazine.com/forums/index.php?s=f94b12f3d43b3b9446bed90155910842&showtopic=2662 . At 350,000 views strong and with great feedback too, your calling him that shows you do anything but support the law, and regularly break it with libel on your part towards others clone.
Clone, You are a scumbag libelling little weasel clone, and now everyone will know how much so, after reading this reply. Just because you're a loser that doesn't have a job and because you've never done a thing in your life that's of service to others, doesn't give you the right to libel others who have, clone.

Windows can be secured, & here's how, for "bulletproof & bugfree operation", especially over "the long haul" & I've tried to promote that which you speak of, by creating guides for end-user security (which network techs can use on LANS/WANS endpoints such as PC workstation nodes & yes, even servers to an extent), per this guide below:

Fact is, what you're saying?
It is the "WHY" of why I wrote the VERY FIRST/OLDEST security guide for Windows NT-based OS, which NEOWIN picked up on in 2001 & rated it extremely well too, no less, here -> http://www.neowin.net/news/apk-a-to-z-internet-speedup--security-text and it had its "dim early beginnings" back in 1997-1998 @ NTCompatible.com as their "Article #1" here http://web.archive.org/web/20020205091023/www.ntcompatible.com/article1.shtml (it started out on how to speed up a Windows NT based PC, & grew into a "SPEED & SECURITY GUIDE" there over the next few years 1998-2002 or so).
(Which however, is now as of late 2007 to present, has become far, Far, FAR MORE EFFECTIVE in its latest iteration shown below, w/ evidences thereof to that effect (solid, uninfested uptime for YEARS & how/why too))
It works, & is based on the concept of what many computer security folks the past few years have been calling "LAYERED SECURITY"...
PROOFS/EXAMPLES OF ITS EFFICACY? Ok, below:
----
"the use of the hosts file has worked for me in many ways. for one it stops ad banners, it helps speed up your computer as well. if you need more proof i am writing to you on a 400 hertz computer and i run with ease. i do not get 200++ viruses and spy ware a month as i use to. now i am lucky if i get 1 or 2 viruses a month. if you want my opinion if you stick to what APK says in his article about securing your computer then you will be safe and should not get any viruses or spy ware, but if you do get hit with viruses and spy ware then it will your own fault. keep up the good fight APK." - Kings Joker, user of my guide @ THE PLANET

Corporate networks [nearly] always have firewalls, but most of the time the IT staff is paid to care more about restricting employees from 'wasting company time' than in managing advanced multi-level defenses (why most networks are 'crunch on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside.') Equipment and software vendors provide password level security, often with authentication integration into LDAP/AD, but rarely support real tokens or PKI's backed by an HSM, as most companies don't want to pay for a real HSM (and with post dot bomb price escalation, that's often understandable - $40k for a 1U server with layered tamper switches and a custom app?) CSO's are treated as a cost center along with the rest of IT, and its often the policy to force people to keep quiet when major breaches occur. Its simpler and cheaper to make sure the board and stockholders don't know how often the databases and repositories are exported to FTP sites in China than to actually make it really difficult to succeed, as real security often costs real money. There's a whole underground industry of targeted penetration, as ethics and patriotism fall to greed - the underlying problems are far deeper than basic "cybersecurity".by kbonin (58917) on Wednesday April 07, @12:03PM (#31762376) Homepag
110% agreed, so I've tried to do my part, since 1997 (however, more currently + far, Far, FAR MORE in its latest iteration) by creating guides for end-user security (which network techs can use on LANS/WANS endpoints such as PC workstation nodes & yes, even servers to an extent), per this guide below:

Do it, I will countersue for your LIBELLING me
See subject-line above - because you've been LIBELLING ME HERE, rampantly, & pursuing me thru 3 diff. exchanges I was having with others (go for it):
First of all - Tell us if YOU, or Thor Schmuck (your "credible reliable reputable source" etc. (not)), actually possess degrees around the art & science of computing (or any really, I am curious on this account).
This is to see if you are this "expert" you seem to THINK you are. I already KNOW you haven't done anything of good note int his field in written respected publications, so that much is taken care of in that regard.
Ask your "Credible Source", Thor Schmuck, if he also lists PING.EXE (because it can or could do a PING OF DEATH), or if he lists SPYBOT SEARCH & DESTROY on his list (because it alters the HOSTS file, & CA says "that's bad", but, funny they don't list Spybot S&D either, eh?)

(I don't think you will answer up to that... if you do, then it'd probably be time to call my attorney (she's the one who got me into contact with an attorney from another city who said I have a winner, per the below next), who will probably contact slashdot, & I'll get your IP addy & ISP/BSP, & find out who you are with a legal order from my attorney, & then it's YOUR problem, for sure -not MINE!))

Why zero threats in my app @ CA (the source of all this in fact)? Well - because I took CA's 21 point removal test (& my app passed EVERY question they had then is why)!
So you know, again - plus, again, the same has happened to Dr. Mark Russinovich of Microsoft (he & I used to do work for Sunbelt software @ the same time in the mid to late 1990's in fact, & I helped HE out of bugs in his pagedefrag.exe program, & he thanked me in email for it no less), plus, Nir Sofer of NIRSOFT had it happen on a LOT of his wares (which sux, because his wares are quite useful & NOT spywares)...

Disk caches make up for it (or DNS cache)
Bit of clarification for you, my man (& thanks for bolstering my points too):
"1 is only semi-false. Using a HOSTS file doesn't use significant CPU that you aren't already using because your request is already going to hit your HOSTS file anyways. I suppose technically having a very large HOSTS file would consume more parsing it than a small one, but in comparison to alternatives, it's CPU light at the least." - by Schadrach (1042952) on Tuesday March 23, @02:24PM (#31587184)
A relatively "smallish" HOSTS file resides in the native DNS Clientside caching service on Windows (so it is constantly in memory, inside of what C/C++ folks call a "structure" (either standalone, or part of an object), or what PASCAL "fiends" like myself, call a record (or again, object) since PASCAL RECORD = C/C++ STRUCTURE).
Also - this avoids being "diskbound slow"... now, if you use a relatively "LARGISH" hosts file? You have to disable your DNS Clientside cache service - or, it "breaks down" & you lag, rather horribly (I have pointed this out to Microsoft on their blogs (S. Sinofsky's, head of Windows development iirc) & Foredecker (a senior mgt. figure @ MS too, who posts here no less)... so, what makes up for that? See subject-line... answer = YOUR DISKCACHE!
HOSTS files, after all, are JUST ANOTHER FILE... & what caches repeatedly used files? Caches do!
("&, there ya are")
APK
P.S.=> Loads & POSSIBLY reloads (if you stop your connection, OR, change entries in your HOSTS file) of a HOSTS eat FAR LESS CPU than ADBLOCK'S constant parsing of each webbrowser page you load in FireFox (the ONLY browser family that ADBLOCK COVERS, mind you, not all others as HOSTS files do, as well as email programs & really ANY WEBBOUND PROGRAM YOU HAVE)... period!
The "right idea" here though? Layered security - use BOTH methods of protection! I expound on that in this security guide for Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003/Windows VISTA/Windows 7/Windows Server 2008, here -> http://www.tcmagazine.com/forums/index.php?s=705f48ab441c8cafce3f0657e1309b87&showtopic=2662 & it works!

Maybe it's needed guys, because in case you haven't noticed?
It's getting QUITE "nuts" out there with spam alone (& that's just the stuff trying to scam you out of your monies), as well as viruses/trojans/spywares/rootkits/malwares-in-general!
There's tons of it out there, and many folks get "burned" by it everyday!
(Plus, I don't mean for just redoing their systems, or having to pay to have them removed, hopefully fully etc. (& yes, I have spent more than my fair share of time doing those too, they're a TIME CONSUMING PAIN - but, then again, most "techies" spend a good 90% of their day removing them too - gee, I wonder WHO "stands to profit" there, eh? OR WORSE YET, it makes you even consider THEY MAY BE THE ONES CREATING THESE DAMN THINGS TOO... believe me, it's more than crossed my mind @ least, as to that possibility too)).
I mean, hey guys - Face it: They're being sent @ you "every which way" via HTML & scripted emails, bogusly scripted
In a lot of ways, MAYBE this "Great Firewall of America" (heck, the world) IS needed guys!
(By that, I mean as to somekind of INTERNATIONAL "Gov't. + International Police(s) & ISP/BSP's" doing a "teaming up" vs. this b.s.!)
I mean... See, because for the past oh, 10-12 yrs. or so now, I've actually taken an "interest" in following security-trends & such online & even TRYING to help others not get "hit" by this b.s., via guides like this one -> http://www.tcmagazine.com/forums/index.php?s=acc9ba7fa970982d9de549d7c3885703&showtopic=2662
(Which actually WORKS, if you keep up on patches, watch it with javascript, use things like HOSTS files that are up to date & FAR more (for "layered security)).
To get into it?
Well - Years ago, I started with looking at sites like SECUNIA.COM + SECURITYFOCUS.COM (and many others this site, for one, points to that also do a lot of decent good work to TRY to help keep others safer online etc. et al)!
Know what?
Imo & observation as well - Well, it's actually gotten worse the past 4-5 yrs. from what I've seen - worse in the things I noted above, than I ever have seen it in the past decade++... so, again:
MAYBE WE NEED THIS TYPE OF EFFORTS FROM OUR GOVERNMENTAL BODIES HELPING THE REST OF US OUT TOO, vs. this madness & lunacy!
(Sure, I wonder if it will be used for "evil ends" or "mind control" too, but... I have faith in MOST others, & I don't think folks will allow too much of that without a HUGE fuss... but helping stall the "malware wave"? Yes, it's needed...)
APK
P.S.=> Of course, there are those here who are PROBABLY "hacker/cracker" types themselves, who DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN... consider that much @ least!
(Yes, script-kiddie types, all the "up to" (or should I say even LOWER than) to those who are the more "dangerous types" who actually create the newer/more modern types of threats, of which rootkits personally actually somewhat scare the hell out of me (not the bootsector originated types, those are fairly easily dealt with once detected, but memory resident or "driver-driven" stuff, or below that level even))...
Heck - You can BANK ON IT, that they're amongst the ones around here & elsewhere, that no doubt (imo @ least) all around about this topic who are screaming "LEAVE THE INTERNET ALONE"... why?

Primarily it sounds like you are stalking him online from your -wherever you go- statement above in the reply of yours I reply to now. It now seems others are asking if you have ever done anything of worth that was noted as his listings of noted deesd in respectable publications and books in computing over time here in this thread http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1521956&cid=30900928. That's been put out here now here by others also probably afraid to have a real egomaniac psycho like you troll them as well now no less. With your url you put up though, I did a bit of reading. It's my opinion that You have also given yourself away as this Acecandy or ~Candy~ seeing as how his post shamed you to the point of changing your name there upon my cursory inspection of it. His reply wasn't mean about Internet Explorer and Opera. It was based on facts, and being factual in the end it even actually complimented you in fact. You took it the wrong way. In the end, you're just a nobody on that forums link you posted. Your frothing reaction has only shown me that his reply there certainly got to you didn't it? I have to say yes, it did judging by your lunatic raving. Do you really think someone who has a list like his from the time you were still in diapers couldn't do that also were he to join up at Microsoft's forums? Clue - he's been interviewed by Microsoft for work and years ago as a post of his I have bookmarked here http://developers.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=155172&cid=13007974. I read his posts and this is how I know this much as I belong to other forums he belongs to myself. He could do what you have in mvps status and probably with ease. He also summarily destroyed you on other things now that I read that posting, but only after you attacked he because somehow and I do not see how in the url you put up as some sort of evidence as to his alleged egotism, he tore your ego to shreds by making you and yours look rather foolish. Most of all via a post on registry cleaners http://forums.techguy.org/windows-xp/662877-solved-registry-cleaners-2.html which I found interesting in how you all had to ban him when he challenged you to find his registry cleaner freeware damaging windows. He's also done posts shown how they can be used as forensics tools here http://www.tcmagazine.com/forums/index.php?s=8b73f8ac359f5d4395f12b5169367a38&showtopic=2662 where his guide is all over the world with replies from people who have applied it having no problems anymore with viruses after they apply his tips and follow what he says to do. Now, let's see you do what he had when you were still a child probably on your part to your credit. You cannot and you never will and that is that. It seems that the other repliers to you in this trolling attack of your are correct that your incorrect statement about he is wrong. He commended slashdot. You are not slashdot. You are an unaccomplished troll that cannot handle facts that make you look what you are, which is stupid. Amusing us also, in your trying to use others here in your trolling defense and it's not working. We can read you know. You are not slashdot and you are not the types of people you spoke of. Show us otherise and prove you are, because otherwise you're another windbag troll full of hot air. Comparing the list others put up shows he's done a lot of good note from some reputable sources in this science from as far back as 1997 it seems and continues to do so, whereas you have not.

"Microsoft held liable for these issues? Why do we even use Windows for Government systems?" - by koan (80826) on Friday January 15, @11:07PM (#30787586)
I feel that MS ought to ship a system TOTALLY "closed off", personally (or, @ least, security hardened, per the guidelines I set below)
I do show guidelines for security that DO actually work no less there!
Simply due to the usage of "layered security", conscientious patching, & knowing when and when NOT to use things like JAVASCRIPT + FAR MORE!
(E.G.-> AND, even a "return to antiquities teachings" (per Ozymandias of "The Watchmen" in that quote) by using things like HOSTS files for example, which is 1970's thinking (but, it works like no tomorrow for BOTH added speed, but more importantly, for ADDED LAYERED SECURITY, especially nowadays...)).
Then, when the END-USER elects to "turn those features" on again (or rather, the protection vs. them, off)? He/She, as said end-user, assumes the responsibility for what happens... NOT MS!
(MS ships these OS' nowhere NEAR where they can be 'security-hardened' to, & probably so "everything just works" + so it's easier to "mass deploy" quickly, imo @ least, as to the "WHY" of why MS' OS are so damned 'wide open' outta the box/oem stock!)

APK REPLY #1 on HOSTS files... apk
"Why don't you use a tool that was actually designed to do what you are trying to do" - by Anonymous Coward on Wednesday January 13, @03:54PM (#30756016)
You must know much about how the HOSTS file works, or worse yet, HOW IT CAN BE USED, & TO GET YOU MORE SPEED, and YES SECURITY, online & from 1 single tool that eats no CPU cycles & is not vulnerable to security issues or bugs in it as programs can be or are (ala DNS servers for example on that last note)... read on, IF you are interested only, & thanks:
----
"
I use that, AND in combination with the HOSTS files, & far more too (ala the term "layered security") - like, in the case of HOSTS files which we are on about here as our topic @ this point.
HOSTS files can more than just potentially make you safer online, but also way, Way, WAY NOTICEABLY F A S T E R, too!
I.E.-> Can a software firewall alone get you more speed online (as well as more security via the simplest principal of all: 'IF YOU CAN'T GO INTO THE FIRE, YOU CANT GET BURNED', too)?
ANSWER - No, a software-firewall alone cannot get you more speed like HOSTS files can!
HOSTS files not only yield far better security, but also more speed, by blocking out adbanners (which also have been found to bear malicious code MANY times mind you as well), AND, via "hardcoding" your favorites IP-to-DOMAINNAME/HOSTNAME into your HOSTS files... This latter point makes you less trackable via DNS server requests logs.
DNS Servers, which have been found vulnerable in many ways, & badly the past 2-3 yrs. now, but if they go down? You will still reach your favs even if you do HOSTS "hardcoding" as I call it of your favorite websites etc. et al online.
See here -> http://www.tcmagazine.com/forums/index.php?s=1d1d476789da41e0d7fccdbb022cfb0b&showtopic=2662
That's the current model of my security guide (mine was also THE VERY 1st was THE first online for that purpose too, as "Article #1" @ NTCompatible.com... & even NeoWin rated it extremely well back in its "version #1", circa 1997-2001 -> http://www.neowin.net/news/main/01/11/29/apk-a-to-z-internet-speedup--security-text ) &, for Windows NT-based OS'.
My guide's the "topspot #1" on GOOGLE if you search "HOW TO SECURE Windows 2000/XP" in fact, & my guide also owns the top 50 or thereabouts on GOOGLE also (or more)
My securty guide has crossed over 250,000 views (in 2 yrs. time online in its current model), & been made an:
A.) "ESSENTIAL GUIDE"
B.) "STICKY/PINNED THREAD"
C.) Is in each of 15/20 site's it is posted on's "top 10 most viewed" usually (even though its been there a lot less longer than the ones ahead of it no less)
D.) My guide is usually "5/5" star rated on 15/20 forums it is featured on.It covers HOSTS, extensively in fact, and HOW/WHEN/WHERE/WHY/WHAT they are valuable for, in terms of BOTH more SPEED ONLINE, & more SECURITY ONLINE (via the principle of "layered security")...

This I totally agree with you on, & I myself have been a victim of it as a freeware developer!
E.G.-> I wrote an application back in 1999 that is "flagged" by CA as a threat, albeit with "ZERO THREAT LEVELS", listing it claiming it can be used by malware authors to do damage to others... wtf?
So, upon the advisement of an attorney, I took their 21 point test (via vendorappeals@ca.com & writing greg.jensen@ca.com also in regards to this), & my application did not violate a SINGLE CONSTRAINT, & yet? They STILL list it on their website... - this was prior to ANY RULING that antivirus/antispyware companies can now do so (funny that, eh?)!!!
(Boy - it's rather 'funny' how the "rules change" for big money, eh? Especially when you catch their "so called software engineers" constradicting their own rules for removal from their lists).
I am not alone in this either, by the by:
----
E.G. #1 - Dr. Mark Russinovich has had this happen with his utilities as well
E.G. #2 - Nir Sofer of Nirsoft has also...
----
In fact, I had a large discussion with Nir about this in fact, via email, & he does a blog on it...
(Does it change anything? Nope!)
NOW, my app, ALL it does? Is allow a user to launch ANY APP HE WANTS, invisibly. I designed it @ the request of a user on a forums to help him out, back when Apache for Windows did not have a resident background service running (like most webservers do on Windows), or @ least that was his problem he told me.
So, since it was VERY EASY TO CREATE, & at the request of a fellow forums member, to help he out, I did so.
(I.E.-> It is a simple app, & it uses 1 line of code to do so (i.e.-> most shell/spawn commands in various compilers have parameters to do this in many compilers), so I "whipped it up" for him, as he requested needing such a tool - just to help out a fellow forums poster whom I had known for years no less online @ NTCompatible.com... )).
Next thing I know? My app is listed by CA + this fool named Thor Schrock as a malware!
(& others also, but, they removed it once I requested it and showed them that I am ANYTHING BUT a 'malware author', per guides I have been doing for decades like this one -> http://www.tcmagazine.com/forums/index.php?s=9dacda674c6b55f869c4db3d5b0cc0df&showtopic=2662 that owns the top spot on GOOGLE when you search "HOW TO SECURE WINDOWS 2000/XP" and the top 50 or so after that. It has gone WELL over 250,000 views online in 2 yrs. time across 15 forums and also has been rated "5/5 stars", or is in their top 5 most viewed on tech forums sections, or was made a "sticky/pinned thread" or "essential guide" no less! My guide helps Windows uses secure their systems in fact!)
I have YET to have my single app (APKApp2BackGroundDaemonProcessEngine.exe) be removed from CA's or this fool "Thor Schrock's" listings, even though I did not violate a SINGLE constraint of CA's removal request document's constraints...
These people victimize smaller developers who are NOT "malware authors" because they know what it costs with attorneys to attack them... so, they get away with it.
I was told in fact, by an attorney out of Rochester N.Y. who handles such things I had a winning case, but he told me it was not worth it ($150,000 award roughly possible), because he said these companies would drag him through the courts for 10++ yrs.,

"It's tolerated (perhaps encouraged) in part because these annoying actors are otherwised engaged in improving Linux. Major Debian and BSD contributors, for example, use slashdot as a workspace for their human-machine interaction side experiments, of which APK is probably one. In addition many of these trolls post links which, if you follow them, will completely hose a Windows machine. This is part of the game. - by symbolset (646467) on Monday December 14, @01:15AM (#30428430) Journal
I took offense to the BOLDED part... & ALL you EVER seem to have is "ad hominem" based attacks on people, not the points they make. So, "symbolNOBODY": The day you can make something like this (& that got you PAID for it, & that has done as well for others online):

That's also gone over 250.000 views worldwide in 1++ yrs.' time online, & across 15 forums where that guide for Windows Security has been made either an:
1.) "Sticky/Pinned" thread
2.) An "Essential Guide"
3.) Rates 5/5 stars (etc.)AND, gets "feedback" like this from users that have applied it:

My client STILL Hasn't called me back in regards to that one machine to get it locked down for the kid. I am glad it worked and I am sure her wallet is appreciated too now that it works. Speaking of which, I need to call her to see if I can get some leads. APK - I will say it again, the guide is FANTASTIC! Its made my PC experience much easier. Sandboxing was great. Getting my host file updated, setting services to system service, rather than system local. (except AVG updater, needed system local)"

THEN, when you have done so, on THAT account? THEN, you can talk (and, ESPECIALLY about that which you said about myself which I quoted from you above shows YOU, libelling ME, clearly. It's clearly immaterial & outright b.s. from you, vs. the kind of feedback my guide on securing Windows gets, quoted above from others? It CLEARLY disproved your outright b.s., period...)
Also?
When you have done all of this as I have over time in this Art & Science of computing:
