- New RegDefend Alert/Log window
-Removed "current live log" setting and simply integrated it into a date based filtering system

-Improved layout and design to aid reading - New Registry rules editor
-Totally redesigned the interface, allowing easier creation/modification of rules
-Application only rules added, allowing people to define rulesets for untrusted/unknown programs. For example you can block a program which is run in a certain location (temporary files, internet cache, etc) from accessing the registry.
-Application rules can be filtered using both the command line (useful for svchost.exe/rundll32.exe) and with wildcards
-Application rules can now use special strings to select the Windows directory, program files directory, internet cache, etc
-Collapsed all of the .ghst files into a simple rdconfig.bin

-Added exporting of RegDefend v2.0 rules
-Improved wildcard handling, no longer have to manually set whether you used wildcards or not
-Groups and rules can now have descriptions attached to them, to allow people who have no idea about registry locations to hopefully understand them better
-Added the ability to move rules between groups through a right click menu - New Ghost Security Suite driver
-Incorporated RegDefend into a unified driver system

-Implemented Short File Name to Long File Name resolution
