ME Update tool
Intel has identified security issue that could potentially place impacted platform at risk. Use ME Update tool to update your ME.
*We suggest you update ME Driver to the latest Version 11.7.0.1040 simultaneously.

I tried using the tool and it failed. can I download the latest me driver from intel and install it that way?
