    Newegg crypto-mining?

    Ethernet here, unlimited so we are told, but the Electricity cost has risen this month. Anyway It's prolly a poor underpaid kid in Newegg's EYE-TEE dept running a script. That's the last time they get my custom.

    Sneaky SOB's. It's like a neighbor stealing your Electricity.

    Where are the promised MSI Spectre/Meltdown BIOS updates?

    Whether you can or can't the offer is much appreciated :) Companies keep their system hacks under wraps for years. Just because it's not it the headlines doesn't mean it's not happening. And ye, some of us do give a crap.

    Where are the promised MSI Spectre/Meltdown BIOS updates?

    I thought I made that clear. The answer is still No. No Microcode update from MS, and no bios update from MSI. And I've checked every week. Is that an offer dear Froggy? ;) Would be great if you could. I looked into the latest UBU and mmtool but didn't feel confident enough to carry out the mod.

    Where are the promised MSI Spectre/Meltdown BIOS updates?

    I know that already because I read someone suggest the same thing on Intel's website a few months back. BUT! Still no Spectre patch for the MSI mobo with Windows updates regardless. And still no Bios update from MSI. The mobo is an H270. And non of MSI Z270 series boards appear to have been...

    Better free alternative to microsoft defender?

    Ye I remember now. Still I recall Kaspersky having to issue a fix for KIS 2018 though. Now I'm just waiting for the ranting to start in the Kaspersky forums :)

    Better free alternative to microsoft defender?

    KIS 2019 has issues with tap drivers like they did with KIS 2018. The quickest and easiest way around this for Kaspersky users it to revert to KIS 2018 and wait for Kaspersky to fix the problem.

    Just turn Defender off manually if you trust your AV suite. Simple.

    Where are the promised MSI Spectre/Meltdown BIOS updates?

    Did all that prior to posting. Same CPU is patched on ASUS 270 series mobo but not MSI 270 series mobo. Meltdown patched on MSI mobo but not Spectre. Both are patched on ASUS 270 mobo. Both mobo's are running the latest up to date Windows 10. This is definitely a bios related issue and MSI...

    Where are the promised MSI Spectre/Meltdown BIOS updates?

    Completely untrue. For the last time for those who haven't read what I wrote. My MSI 270 mobo ISN'T patched against Spectre. Both my ASUS Z270 and Z370 mobo's are. And all are running the latest up to date versions of Windows 10. MSI haven't released a Bios update for my MSI board since January...
