The Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities have turned the tech world upside-down, so you can't say we started 2018 on a good note. When they say that all processors are affected, they actually mean it, and there is very little we can do about it. A solution is still being worked on around the clock, but until then, we can only make all the updates that can be made and hope for the best. If you want to check if you are on the right track, Ashampoo Spectre Meltdown CPU Checker can provide you with a quick answer. This simple tool performs a quick security check, to see if your CPU is exposed to Meltdown or Spectre.

The utility is absolutely free and it is available for all Windows platforms. It doesn't need to be installed, so you can just download the application and run it straight away. You don't need to have any kind of prerequisite tools installed on your computer and you don't need powerful hardware.

Ashampoo Spectre Meltdown CPU Checker comes with a compact user interface with only one button. Simply clicking this button is all you have to do. The software will start analyzing your system and its available security measures, which shouldn't take more than a minute to complete.

Once the analysis is done, the utility will let you know if your system is susceptible to Meltdown, Spectre or both. Though it uses red and green colors to indicate clearly if you are safe or not, the results screen doesn't offer too many details. However, if a vulnerability is detected, you can click a link to bring up a page with instructions on how to better prepare your system.

Staying well informed during the Meltdown and Spectre crisis is essential and Ashampoo Spectre Meltdown CPU Checker can put you on the right path.
