ps: i'll try to google old topic and post it here
There is a link on your website with the comment "security noobs" that points to a discussion in the Distributed Computing forum on the AnandTech website. I am one of the "security noobs" in that discussion. I am assuming that you labelled me a "noob" because I would like someone to vouch for the author of this program and/or I'd like the author to post the source code for this program so that it can be reviewed by the community. This program will probably never have any commercial value so why are you reluctant to make the source code available?
If the label "security noob" applies to people who don't blindly download software from the Internet without verifying that the program is not malicious, then I guess I am a "security noob".
Until the source is made available for review, I will not be downloading the affinity changing program from your site. I don't care if the program promises a "FREE 1000 PPD increase!1!!1!!!!1111". You can leave the "security noobs" label on your site if you wish. When hundreds or thousands of Folders find their Windows boxes (running the affinity setting program) sending spam or being used for other nefarious purposes, people will be asking "Why didn't we listen to the security noobs?"
Thank you,
