[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 978928, member: 32260"] There are many such free tools, for example, Hard_Configurator (also H_C_HardeningTools, SWH), Hardentools, Syshardener, VoodooShield. There is no need to change Linux, Mac, or Windows for security reasons. All of them can be configured to get acceptable security. So, you are much safer compared to driving a car or shopping (in the time of COVID-19). This can be a reason. The malware/exploit has to be first somehow delivered to your system. The chances for that are not great. If you would ask MT members, then most of them were not infected for many years, and the rest were infected by stupid risky actions. Are you worried about the possibility of being accidentally killed by a professional killer? If so then you should not also use computers. If not, then you can skip thinking about such flaws like Spectre.:) It is impossible to protect Windows (Linux, MAC, etc.) against all possible attack vectors. If you would try to do it, then your computer would be hardly usable. Just learn more about the attack vectors and your worries will decrease significantly. You are in a good place here on MT.(y) [/QUOTE]
