No bios update for Z97 motherboard to mitigate spectre 2 variant . is there anything I can do to feel safe against this vulnerability?

Hello Jerome Cornish,
Thank you for responding to Asus Product Support, this is Olga O. again and I apologize if there will be no BIOS update for the Spectre 2 issue with your motherboard. I know how important it is to solve the issue as soon as possible. Let me further assist you.

Upon checking the BIOS version version 3003 that was released from 2015/11/23.

Unfortunately, our software engineers will no longer release any BIOS updates.

If you have any questions or comments, you can simply reply to this email to contact us again. Thank you for choosing ASUS Products and Services.
Please take note of your case number for future reference N1803152533.
Regards,
Olga O.
