-## WARNING
+## Announcement
 
-As of 09/04/2025, Winring0 (FanControl.sys) flagged as [Trojan:Win32/Vigorf.A](https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases/issues/3410#issuecomment-3254057373) by Windows Defender
+[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.
 
-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.

 * 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.
