Keeping the machine off networks seems a helpful precaution.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you are uncertain if your system has been patched, be sure to check your system for any software updates needed.\u00a0 If a patch is available, it will deploy at the time of the Windows update.<\/p>\n<h3>Spectre Vulnerability Impacts All Modern Processors<\/h3>\n<p>Although Meltdown is able to be fixed through an update &#8211; experts believe Spectre will take decades to rebound from.\u00a0 The vulnerability deemed Spectre, impacts all modern processors found in Windows, Linux, iOS, MacOS, and Android.\u00a0 The security gap is based on the design flaw within the processors.\u00a0 The security patch for Meltdown is supposed to also assist with patching the Spectre gap.\u00a0 Although it has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/01\/03\/business\/computer-flaws.html\">reported<\/a> the issue will not be fully resolved until new processor chips hit the market.\u00a0 Security researcher, Paul Kocher, made the following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/01\/03\/business\/computer-flaws.html\">statement<\/a> to New York Times,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve really screwed up.\u00a0 There&#8217;s been this desire from the industry to be as fast as possible and secure at the same time.\u00a0 Spectre shows you cannot have
