How to check if your PC is already patched against meltdown and spectre

I found an easy and convinient way for checking the status of your pc.

Windows PC

Steps:

• Go to https://github.com/vrdse/MeltdownSpectreReport
• Download or clone the repository Download link
• Unzip
• Open powershell
• Drap and drop MeltdownSpectreReport.ps1 into the powershell window
• Or go the the directory with the ps1 script and enter .\MeltdownSpectreReport.ps1

If you have a lot of False returns, as i have, the protection is not there. Be careful. A detailed explanation how to interpret the results can be found here https://github.com/vrdse/MeltdownSpectreReport.

Linux PC

Steps:

• Go to https://github.com/speed47/spectre-meltdown-checker
• Download or clone (Download link)
• unzip master.zip, if downloaded
• open terminal
