Find out if your processor is vulnerable to Meltdown and Specter

read

They have been published several articles on this subject. But what exactly are these security holes? Although programs are usually not allowed to read data from other programs, a malicious program can take advantage of Meltdown and Specter to retrieve data stored in the memory of other running programs. This can include your passwords stored in a password manager or browser, your personal photos, emails, instant messages, and even documents that are important to the business.

A simple way to detect this is through the Ashampoo Specter Meltdown Checker CPU, which allows you to determine if the system is vulnerable at the touch of a button. The program uses Microsoft control, which usually requires complex configuration procedures before viewing the results. 

Ashampoo Specter Meltdown CPU Checker does it for you and monitors potential attackers. If your system is affected, the program will provide more information about how to protect your computer. What can you do if your system is affected?


First: stay calm. So far, no Specter / Meltdown-based attacks have been reported. Make sure you always have your system up to date. Although hardware issues exist, manufacturers are promoting software updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. 

Always install the latest Windows updates. If you turned off automatic updates, turn them back on in the Windows Update settings via the control panel.


Important: Some antivirus programs prevent you from installing Windows updates. If you encounter any problems, you may need to temporarily disable or uninstall the affected programs. 

Update your browsers. Especially the vulnerability of Spectra can be exploited through browsers. Important: Some antivirus programs prevent you from installing Windows updates. If you encounter any problems, you may need to temporarily disable or uninstall the affected programs.
