The software developer Ashampoo released a quick test for the vulnerabilities of Meltdown and Specter. With a free, free tool, you can check if your processor is vulnerable.
Protective holes, known as the Specter and Meltdown, have affected billions of devices. Now the software developer Ashampoo has released a small tool called the Specter Meltdown CPU Checker, which will help you find out if your processor is vulnerable.
The program must be completed. After a quick check of your processor, you will be notified by red or green if it is vulnerable. In addition, the tool helps in hardening the system. It is recommended, for example, to install updates for the operating system, and not open unknown email attachments or, if necessary, update the BIOS
