PrivWindoze Changelog
=====================
v5.8.2 (11.08.2025)
- Database update - MSI bloat
- Bug fix which resulted in an inaccurate report on Windows 10 systems. The report mentioned certain files were deleted, but they weren't. Reworked to match that of how DoesNotBelong handles that specific directory.
v5.8.0 (10.17.2025)
- AV detection updated + Sophos Enterprise
- Database update - Lenovo Ready For Assistant
v5.7.9 (10.13.2025)

v5.7.8 (10.07.2025)

- Database updated - Samsung bloatware, Office 16 AI
v5.7.7 (10.05.2025)
- Improved Stage 1 - Process killing. Any console errors should now be gone. Tested on Windows 10 and 11 x64
- On newer systems without WMIC.exe, powershell.exe is now able to terminate suspicious processes impersonating legitimate files, even if they include encoded UTF8 - UTF16 filepaths. This should alleviate all previous 'binary file matches' found in logs
- Fixed a error where scanning for the user's antivirus was done twice (https://github.com/furtivex/PrivWindoze-Issues/issues/1). This now only occurs once
v5.7.6 (10.04.2025)

v5.7.5 (10.04.2025)
- Improved Stage 1 - Process killing
