-## WARNING
+## Announcement
 
-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.
+[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. 
-* Since V235, 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. 
+* 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__, and close FanControl completely (EXIT).
-2. (Optional but recommended) Backup your Configuration folder
-3. Download the [net4.8](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/22138855/net472.zip) or [net8.0](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/22138861/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 
 
 ## New
 * New seperate "Up" and "Down" hysteresis for graph, linear and trigger fan curves
