AD-HOMINEM ATTACK (a logical fallacy):
Argumentum ad hominem (argument directed at the person). This is the error of attacking the character or motives of a person who has stated an idea, rather than the idea itself. The most obvious example of this fallacy is when one debater maligns the character of another debater (e.g, "The members of the opposition are a couple of fascists!")

Ahem: I actually took, and did fairly well, @ LOGIC while in academia, have you? Obviously not, and all your name calling's only showing that's the "best you've got" (but no coursework in logic to your credit obviously, other than the "pseudo logic" used on forums, lol!)
(Obviously you have not taken LOGIC on YOUR part, and certainly not in CSC, because if you did, you'd realize it's commonly a requirement for said degree (At least in the "best schools" which are typically found in the North East United States and that's where I took both my degrees!))
You failed, and why? Because of what you used... in LOGIC, using what you have is called (so you know) an "appeal to an incorrect authority"!
Calling Brian Krebs somekind of expert or authority on this arena of computer sciences? A mistake, and a huge LOGICAL one!
(Krebs has nothing to his credit in this science in degrees that establish his expertise according to educational standards, and I also DOUBT STRONGLY he has put in his "time in the trenches" either in Computer Security, Networking, OR PROGRAMMING as well which might help establish he as more of an "authoritative figure").
You? LOL, my man... I have to thank you, for defeating YOURSELF ON THE VERY GROUNDS YOU USE YOURSELF:
You just failed a major tenet of logic, in your "appeal to incorrect authority" by the way, because Brian Krebs is by no means, an authoritative figure in this science, let alone the specific niche in computer security (he's more of a hobbyist, and thus, no more qualified than scamdetect here is)...
However, since you critiqued ME? See this list, show me you (or Krebs) have done more or better in this field:

"Its 2009 - still trouble free! I was told last week by a co worker who does active directory administration, and he said I was doing overkill. I told him yes, but I just eliminated the half life in windows that you usually get. He said good point. So from 2008 till 2009. No speed decreases, its been to a lan party, moved around in a move, and it still NEVER has had the OS reinstalled besides the fact I imaged the drive over in 2008. Great stuff! 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)" - THRONKA, user of my guide @ XTremePcCentral

From one of apk's posts, and I use that guide myself. It does "work as advertised" above.

clone53421 actions speak louder than words by Anonymous Coward · 2010-04-28 23:10 · Score: 0 · on Arizona "Papers, Please" Law May Hit Tech Workers

Here is a cut of what apk posted in that debate with you. Have you done the same, clone53421?
Windows NT Magazine (now Windows IT Pro) April 1997 "BACK OFFICE PERFORMANCE" issue, page 61
(&, for work done for EEC Systems/SuperSpeed.com on PAID CONTRACT (writing portions of their SuperCache program increasing its performance by up to 40% via my work) albeit, for their SuperDisk & HOW TO APPLY IT, took them to a finalist position @ MS Tech Ed, two years in a row 2000-2002, in its HARDEST CATEGORY: SQLServer Performance Enhancement).
WINDOWS MAGAZINE, 1997, "Top Freeware & Shareware of the Year" issue page 210, #1/first entry in fact (my work is there)
PC-WELT FEB 1998 - page 84, again, my work is featured there
WINDOWS MAGAZINE, WINTER 1998 - page 92, insert section, MUST HAVE WARES, my work is again, there
PC-WELT FEB 1999 - page 83, again, my work is featured there
CHIP Magazine 7/99 - page 100, my work is there
GERMAN PC BOOK, Data Becker publisher "PC Aufrusten und Repairen" 2000, where my work is contained in it
HOT SHAREWARE Numero 46 issue, pg. 54 (PC ware mag from Spain), 2001 my work is there, first one featured, yet again!
Also, a British PC Mag in 2002 for many utilities I wrote, saw it @ BORDERS BOOKS but didn't buy it... by that point, I had moved onto other areas in this field besides coding only...
Lastly, being paid for an article that made me money over @ PCPitstop in 2008 for writing up a guide that has people showing NO VIRUSES/SPYWARES & other screwups, via following its point, such as THRONKA sees here -> http://www.xtremepccentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=ee926d913b81bf6d63c3c7372fd2a24c&t=28430&page=3
Clone53421, the more you libel and try to insult a person who actually does good things for others that others in the trade note as good that you have not and probably never will clone the more your mouth makes you look more the ass.
Actions speak louder than words clone. Most especially your libelling words.
Bloke who wrote that guide helped Dr, Russinovich by Anonymous Coward · 2010-04-28 22:51 · Score: 0 · on Fake Antivirus Peddlers Outpacing Real AV Firms

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):
