Intel Bug Meltdown/Spectre Win 10 Update - Contact your Anti-Virus AV to confirm

(1/18) > >>

REDACTED:
Microsoft have released an update for the Intel chip bug - however the update is only available for machines with compatible antivirus.

Is AVAST compatible?

info from MS:
Due to an issue with some versions of Anti-Virus software, this fix is only being made applicable to the machines where the Anti virus ISV has updated the ALLOW REGKEY.   Contact your Anti-Virus AV to confirm that their software is compatible and have set the following  REGKEY on the machine
Key="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"Subkey="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\QualityCompat"
Value Name="cadca5fe-87d3-4b96-b7fb-a231484277cc"
Type="REG_DWORD”
Data="0x00000000”

Spec8472:
Yes we are compatible, a microupdate was issued yesterday

REDACTED:
That's great  - thank you!

I don't seem to have the reg value though, what version of Avast Endpoint Protection includes the fix?

Spec8472:
It should be present on all Avast 8 or later versions, what is your version?

REDACTED:
Avast Endpoint Protection 8.0.1609
