Hmm... That was a bit weird! I was going to wait for it to auto-update, but I've just installed the 'new' client manually, and for some reason was expecting a different look, but it looks exactly the same as the old one!
Oh well, it all seems to be working anyway. The installation insisted that I manually removed Hitman Pro, but it was only the web client anyway, which I hardly ever used, so I can just reinstall that if I ever need to.
Other than that, as smooth as ever.

Sorry if you're disappointed.
The change was actually massive but it was internal restructuring of the product without affecting the user-visible parts. I can assure you that we haven't done such a big change for 7 years. The main effects for user are faster and more reliable install and updates.
We are preparing to roll out the update to TP215 clients soon. It has taken a bit longer than expected.

Hi @Ville,
Not disappointed, as such, just a bit surprised!
Usually, when a product undergoes a radical face lift, this is shown outwardly, so that customers know that the product has been updated, and there is also the possibility therefore of attracting new customers. If I was just a regular customer, I probably wouldn't even know that anything had changed.
I think you know that I've never been particularly a fan of the 'light' UI design, but I guess the most important thing is that the product works effectively. Do you not feel, however, that a visual refresh is due, as it's been several years since it has changed significantly?

I refurbished my rig (mobo, ram, ssd, amd) and I incidentally lost some precious records... among them the FS installer, would you please give me the link ?
thank you in advance
Does this help? You will need to log in to get the installer.

Clean installed without a glitch, but I have a doubt: is this by design that MS Windows security apps are not disabled by the installation ? I already noticed that MS Defender jumped on and eradicated a suspicious file (keygen) and that FS did not react on the same file ?
When I install Webroot or Eset e.g. they do disable Defender and clean off the suspected file on their own.
Thank you for your attention
