This is an official release for 2.0.0.8175.
This build resolves the final issue we had with PokerStars Zoom, when it occasionally stopped updating, caused by playernames with " in them.
You can download 2.0.0.8175 manually by clicking here or by using the auto update feature within HM2. If you experience any issues with the new version please let us know and you can rollback to the previous stable version by clicking here.
Antivirus / Firewall warning:
If your getting this message that the blitz.dll or the StarsCommunicator.hm2 is a trojan/virus with this release, that is a false positive. The reason is we updated the files recently for Pokerstars fast poker and this often causes firewalls and antiviruses to be suspicious which is a good thing.
As long as you downloaded HM2 through the auto update or from a genuine link from one of our staff there is nothing to worry about, add C:\Program Files (x86)\Holdem Manager 2\holdemamanager.exe to your exceptions and also C:\Program Files (x86)\Holdem Manager 2\Blitz.dll and C:\Program Files (x86)\Holdem Manager 2\StarsCommunicator.hm2 and tell it to ignore it if you get a warning, normally within a day or two security software companies will approve it and the issue will go away.
