The update is freely available via System Settings.

Performance Improvements
While macOS Tahoe was the main focus of this update, we improved other important features in our app. FxFactory is up to five times faster at installing or removing products. Setting up a new configuration, especially for users with a large number of purchases, is going to be faster than ever.
Security Improvements
FxFactory 8.0.25 also fixes a vulnerability discovered by Carlos Garrido, Red Team Lead and Security Researcher at Pentraze Cybersecurity, whereby malware on your system could potentially take over and exploit FxFactory to further its own malicious goals. Carlos’ timely and detailed report guaranteed a quick resolution.

These secure defaults make malware a rare problem on the Mac. We advise against disabling these security measures, as it would greatly increase the potential to fall victim to malware.
