@lfb6 Thanks for your reply,
Now that I can’t get is secure by updating it to ME 11, is it worth updating at all?
(BTW I thought ME 11 would denote the firmware being at version 11? What exactly is at version 11?)
Would it have any advantages to go to ME firmware version 8.x?
There are three subsections in the D section. Would it be:

12. bios region not even meant for your system (3.6MB vs. 2MB, IVB in name).
[/quote] That's disturbing, as I was planning on installing that in order to fix "[X_URL=htt ps://us.answers.acer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/47605]Intel-SA-00075_CVE-2017-5689_ME - Silent Bob is Silent[/URL]". Are you absolutely sure it's wrong for my system?

13. Yes. Complete backup depending on flash descriptor with fpt (ME- tools) or CH341 programmer, restore CH341 programmer. Bios chip soldered, or socketed? [/quote]
The BIOS chip is soldered.
process that user should follow to flash BIOS ROM.
1. Put the AMIBoot.ROM to a bootable USB flash drive(Disk on Key, DOK).
2. Install the DOK to the system.
3. Press power button to boot the system and then press Ctrl + Home.
4. The BIOS recovery function will be executed.
5. After BIOS is updated completely, the system will auto reboot.
6. Please enter the setup menu to load default after system reboot.
Would that be of any help if things go wrong?
Could the "AMI Firmware Update Utility(APTIO)" (afuwinx64.exe) dump the entire BIOS including ME regions?

What is my best course of action to get my system secure?
