+## Announcement
+
+[V238](https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/releases/tag/V238) and above now ships with a [PawnIO](https://pawnio.eu/) build of [LHM](https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor). This will fix the anti-virus problems encountered with WinRing0, as it is no longer shipped with FanControl.  You may still use V237 or any version before if you want to keep the WinRing0 version.
+
+There is a known issue where FACEIT will block the new driver. See this [issue](https://github.com/namazso/PawnIO.Setup/issues/1).
+
+## WARNING ( V237 and below )
+
+As of 09/04/2025, Winring0 (FanControl.sys) is flagged as [Trojan:Win32/Vigorf.A](https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/issues/3410#issuecomment-3254057373) by Windows Defender. This will cause sensors to not be detected.
+You do not need to open an issue on the subject. Any new issues with this exact problem will be closed as duplicate.
+
+If you experience this issue, you may:
+
+* Update to the latest version
+* (Can't officialy recommend) whitelist/exclude the detection in Windows Security/Defender. Read the [official microsoft response/article](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/microsoft-defender-antivirus-alert-vulnerabledriver-winnt-winring0-eb057830-d77b-41a2-9a34-015a5d203c42) carefully. 
+* With [V235 to V237](https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/releases), you can easily [use an alternative LHM branch](https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/issues/3410#issuecomment-3258597822) that doesn't use WinRing0. Consider this a Beta, as it hasn't been widely tested yet. It may not work, be unstable, not be reliable, you get the idea. 
+
 
 ## New
+* New seperate "Up" and "Down" hysteresis for graph, linear and trigger fan curves
+![Fan Control](Images/Hysteresis.png)
 * The software is now open for translations. Contributions are welcomed here [FanControl.i18n](https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.i18n)
 * AMD GPU support through [ADLXWrapper](https://github.com/Rem0o/ADLXWrapper).
 * Fan calibration and RPM mode for fan curves. See [discussion](https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/discussions/2333).

 * I am not the main developer for the driver/backend portion of this software. Fan Control is basically a UI on top of existing hardware libraries. Any issue regarding hardware compatibility entirely depends on the following projects. If you can't contribute meaningfully with a branch/PR, don't pollute their issue page with "XXXXX doesn't work". The hardware is needed for testing. If a dev has interest in that project, is browsing it, has your specific hardware AND the knowledge to make it work, that dev won't be looking for your issue, he'll just raise a PR.

 * Please only open issues on this repository for the software itself, UI, feature request and so on. If it's a "make this work please" hardware support request, I will link this section of the README and close your issue.
 * If you do have a special hardware compatibility request and you can provide a __working__ sample of code that can be used in .NET, like with a [Plugin](https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/wiki/Plugins), then feel free to submit that.

 ## FAQ
 * __Q__: What settings should I set in my BIOS to play along nicely with FanControl?
 <br>__A__: You want to avoid any "smart" control from your BIOS. Setting a fixed default speed, like 50%, works great for most people. Also keep an eye if your BIOS has PWM or DC mode on. One could work better for you depending on your setup.
-* __Q__: My Nvidia cards has X fans, but only two cards show up, why?
-<br>__A__: Your card only has 2 channels, more than 1 fan are plugged to the same channel.
-* __Q__: My Nvidia cards won't go below 30% and doesn't go to 0 RPM, why?
+* __Q__: My NVIDIA graphics card has 3 fans, but only 2 control cards show up in the UI, why?
+<br>__A__: Your card only has 2 channels, multiple fans are plugged into the same channel.
+* __Q__: My NVIDIA graphics card won't go below 30% and doesn't go to 0 RPM, why?
 <br>__A__: [See here](https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/wiki/Nvidia-30%25-and-0-RPM)
 * __Q__: There is no control cards / control cards are missing / control cards are not changing my fan speeds, what's the issue?
 <br>__A__: See __[ Issues and hardware compatibility](#issues-and-hardware-compatibility)__.
