[QUOTE="jetman, post: 759934, member: 63028"] Hi- I have been trying to understand how to protect my PC from the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilites. I run Windows 10 and have updated the BIOS (dated march 2018) from the manufacturers website. I have run a tool available from GRC.com called 'Inspectre' which indicates that I am supposedly protected against both attacks but that there is a 'microcode update available'. A bit of Googling suggests that this is something available from Intel but isn't automatically part of Windows updates. Any ideas on how to update this safely ? My PC is from 2012 so pretty old- and there is not much straightforward help on the manufacturer website. It took ages just to find whiere the Bios update was. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
