Protect your Windows devices against Spectre and Meltdown

Nice, that makes it a bit easier for the confused, can always guarantee Steve Gibson makes things clear!

HP has just removed all the fixes from their website!

here is what they say:

In response to Intel’s recommendation, HP is taking the following actions:

• HP is removing HP BIOS softpaqs with Intel microcode patches from hp.com.
• HP will be reissuing HP BIOS softpaqs with previous Intel microcode starting January 25, 2018.
• Once Intel reissues microcode updates, HP will issue revised Softpaqs.

No Idea what went wrong~!

Hi,

No Idea what went wrong~!

Frequent spontaneous reboots after the MC update I reckon.

Are you vulnerable? Try this very quick check:
GRC

Thanks for that, dalchina. From a reliable source as well. Very quick, too, as you stated.

Hi,

From a reliable source as well.

Been a Steve Gibson fan for decades. Sure knows his stuff.

Cheers,

Intel are now recomending not to update the microcode and to stop deployment, see here https://newsroom.intel.com/wp-conten...e-guidance.pdf

Same here. He sure does know his stuff. Surprised that site isn't mentioned here more often.

Been using ShieldsUP for eons. He's the port ping king. :)
