Then don't use the latest version. As we clearly see now, it is worse. Before you say you need the latest one, answer this question: Which specific features of it do you really need?

For example, I am still using Sound Forge 4.5, ignoring any current crippled versions by Sony. Speaking of BSPlayer, unless full screen issues get corrected, there's no point running anything higher than v1.36

If v1.39 could be run freely and only beginners were penalized, then now it is most advanced users too. This is not a way towards version 2.0 to be free of malware. Not at all.
