Ashampoo has released a ching tool called SpectreMeltdownCheck.exe - it
could be on Softpedia etc.

Is it a Registry value checker ?

Or an actual exploit tester ?

We've been promised by one of the Meltdown/Spectre
researchers, there'd be an exploit tester that
could check whether you're received some kind of
protection or not.

For the first item, there's a Powershell script.

I'm not aware of any "finished" item for the second type,
as the whole process got rushed at the last minute.

Is the Ashampoo a copy of someone elses program, or
their own creation ?
