[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 792392"] Ya I was surprised to see nothing mentioned either. I think I may have misinterpreted the previous post, I think the latest release might be for the free version only. I downloaded the SHP again and it was still a beta and it was still at 2.0.10. My assumption is that they will probably want to promote the premium version more, so once they release 2.0 for the premium version I am sure we will hear a lot about it. Funny thing is I was listening to the latest security now podcast and Sophos is now an advertiser for SN and it seems like the main pitch was for the SH and SHP versions. It's interesting because Leo and Steve have been saying not to use any 3rd party AV's for some time now, so it's interesting to see them promote this. Well I guess money talks :p Ya I think their marketing upset a lot of people because everyone was under the same impression as you. It wasn't until [USER=49173]@davisd[/USER] did some digging and found out the truth, but needless to say with the new version they seem to have addressed a lot of issues, so this release could be a big deal for them. Hopefully they won't do stupid things with marketing like last time, but in the end all companies market their products in a way to attract attention. After all they want you to buy their product ;) I too have been using WD with tweaks, some W10 hardening and OSA. Personally I don't think 3rd party AV/suites are worth it anymore. I know some will disagree with me and that's totally cool, everyone has their opinion, but I feel like WD has improved a lot on the protection front that simply hardening Windows, or adding something like VS, OSA, Syshardener, etc... is way more than enough for virtually 99% of the people out there. I practice safe habits, as everyone should, it's just as important and I've had not issues what's so ever. Does that mean I never get infected, well never say never, but I don't sit here stressing about some random 1 in a 100000 chance that some very advanced attack is going to happen the moment I turn on my computer:emoji_beer: [/QUOTE]
