So, anyway, today this popped up on my google alerts...
Apparently, some people see a message that says "Secure boot violation. The system found unauthorized changes on the firmware, operating system or UEFI drivers.", and the article suggests that the answer is to (1) Turn off secure boot, and (2) Use a system restore point.
The article explains how to do those steps, and the upside is that turning off secure boot will stop you seeing the message, but the downside is that Secure Boot might be trying to tell you something. ;-)
The danger here is that malware is increasingly targeting firmware.
And, I might be wrong, but I don't think that using a system restore point will restore firmware.
If you do see such a message, you are better off to seek very professional help.
Just sayin'
