As the application's textual display says...

In early 2018 the PC industry was rocked by the revelation that common processor
design features, widely used to increase the performance of modern PCs, could be
abused to create critical security vulnerabilities. The industry quickly responded, and is
responding, to these Meltdown and Spectre threats by updating operating systems,
motherboard BIOSes and CPU firmware.

Protection from these two significant vulnerabilities requires updates to every system's
hardware–its BIOS which reloads updated processor firmware–and its operating system–
to use the new processor features. To further complicate matters, newer processors
contain features to minimize the performance impact of these important security
improvements. But older processors, lacking these newer features, will be significantly
burdened and system performance will suffer under some workloads.

This InSpectre utility was designed to clarify every system's current situation so that
appropriate measures can be taken to update the system's hardware and software for
maximum security and performance.
