[QUOTE="codswollip, post: 831252, member: 58988"] Going OT here... but read up more on this. From what I understand disabling IME does not prevent PC compromise. What disabling does is prevents you from being notified when I connection is being made. Unless your OEM provides a tool to remove IME and close its backdoor, you would be better off with IME enabled, so that you will be notified when attempts to backdoor your PC occurs. Do you own follow-up to convince yourself. DUMo is very risky as it ignores machine architecture AFAIK. [/QUOTE]
