As most of you have seen on the news and read online there is a major security flaw in almost every Intel cpu and in some cases AMD cpu`s and as manufaturers and Microsoft scamble to come up with patches for these flaws you may be wonder what you as a person should do and the simple answer is nothing. Microsoft is rolling out a patch for both Spectre and Meltdown on Intel chips and while it was found that the patch caused some AMD computers to blue screen at boot there is a fairly simple fix for that and all you have to do is uninstall the patch. Any questions or concerns just leave me a message and I will get back to you ASAP.
