InSpectre doesn't change anything in the registry unless you click on the buttons. The latest version from GRC will show you the CPUID so you can...
Updated to 5.24 this morning. No sign yet of Any Microsoft updates yet, but my laptop has been off this evening. I have sandboxes and malwarebytes...
But no update for older 4th and 5th generation chips. Considering these systems are the ones least likely to be supported by the manufacturers I...
No. I do some numerical programming work which is floating point heavy and I can’t see any measurable difference. If any one is worried about...
If anyone is wondering, I have just applied KB4090007 to one of our laptops containing a Skylake-H processor (not my main laptop, and after taking...
This isn't a bios update. Microsoft will put a copy of the microcode for supported intel processors in...
Update coming soon apparently. Meanwhile turn off web protection is supposed to help.
Thanks bo. I have the noscript addon installed in FF57 on one laptop now. I’m still trying to understand the Ui though and the best way to use it.
All the buttons in inspectre do is toggle the bits in the registry key we have discussed before. You can always disable one of the protections by...
Yes that works too. You can right click anywhere in the title bar. But I meant the ghost = "specter" on the left hand side. You can left click...

How do I configure Sandboxie so Firefox 57.0.4 remembers the settings I choose in NoScript (Trusted/Untrusted etc) for websites I visit. I looked...
As I have a network drive that can run Firefox (since it runs Linux) I should be able to run that and interact with it using an X windows client...
What I meant was this test only checks the server. It doesn't matter of the local PC is patched or not.
I don't get how this works. The code isn't running on the local machine is it? Even fully patched machines or non-vulnerable machines (my...
Microsoft could patch the microcode if they wanted to. They have done in the past. There may be further updates to Windows so we'll see....
The B960 isn't on Intel's list of processors which are affected as far as I can see (which is good news). If that is the case you don't need the...
I have been trying to enable mitigation against CVE-2017-5715 and CVE-2017-5754 on my Windows 10 laptop by adding the registry keys discussed...

The Microsoft link referted to above in "Suggested actions" in the PS tool output gives reg keys to enable it. But the wording isn't very clear...
I have only done one, Windows 10 Home x64 with a Haswell chip. I have another laptop with a later chip and will do that tomorrow. I have to read...
