-## WARNING
+## Announcement
 
-WingRing0x64, the driver used via [LHM](https://github.com/LibreHardwareMonitor/LibreHardwareMonitor) started to be flagged by Windows Defender as of March 11th 2025. This will prevent the program from loading all motherboard sensors and will result in an error upon loading. 
-Corresponding [issue](https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/issues/3016).
+[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:
+
+* (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. 
+
+To use the alternate branch (PawnIO, thanks to [@namazso](https://github.com/namazso)) :
+1. Update to at least [__V235__](https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/releases), and close FanControl completely (EXIT).
+2. (Optional but recommended) Backup your Configuration folder
+3. Download the [net4.8](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/22304072/net472.zip) or [net8.0](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/22304071/net8.0.zip) version of LibreHardwareMonitorLib.dll depending on your existing installation
+4. Install the [PawnIO driver](https://pawnio.eu/)
+5. Place the LibreHardwareMonitorLib.dll inside your existing Plugins folder, or create a Plugins/ folder and place it in there
+6. Launch FanControl
+7. If successful, in the About tab, you should see (PawnIO) next to the LHM version.
 
 ## New
-* New seperate "Up" and "Down" hysteresis for graph and linear fan curves
+* New seperate "Up" and "Down" hysteresis for graph, linear and trigger fan curves
