drive-by tagging

This article received a drive-by tag of advert, npov, and cleanup, with no discussion in the talk page. I'm not disputing any of it, but removed the tags until someone can discuss the relevant points. wraith808 (talk) 18:25, 24 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

SpeedFan crashed my computer

I edited this article after SpeedFan crashed my computer & corrupted the registry. I chose to reinstall XP rather than take my chances, since registry corruption was obvious; my computer is for professional multi-track audio recording, and I can't have any instability. I found so many references to this happening to others that I had to warn people about this, hence my added "Dangers" section.

I'm not a regular wiki contributor, and I don't have an account, but if you want to contact me you can do this via d0s4d1@yahoo.com.

Some n00b undid my edits with no talk page

User 109.154.160.28 undid the edits I made in SpeedFan's article. This user has made no other Wikipedia contributions.

My edits were appropriate, pointing out the risk of installing Ring 0 software (software that can do *anything* to your computer). I documented links to discussion forums & web pages that showed evidence of the software causing computers to crash, which carries the risk of data corruption.

So who is this 109.154.160.28 who changed it? Can we have a discussion first? I'm going to restore that section for now, and if I did something wrong, can someone tell me rather than just change things with no conversation?

Crashes attribution

The entire section of crashing is attributed to one unverified forum post. This hardly seems accurate. D0s4d1 (talk) 07:18, 14 February 2011 (UTC)KeilaReply
