Intel CSME tool reporting current Intel ME firmware on this laptop are vulnerable, even though i have updated bios firmware to 1.26. it seems that Intel ME region are still the same as 1.25 and not being updated for long time.

    The mobile processors are not affected by the issues that the desktop processors have with the new processors. Yours, however, is a really old CPU so any changes to the firmware are very unlikely to happen.

    Hi,

    You could try contacting Acer and reporting this problem:

    But I think it's unlikely that they'll do anything. Because I've already wasted my time trying to do that!
