 # MicroPico Visual Studio Code Extension (aka Pico-W-Go)
 
-"MicroPico" is a Visual Studio Code extension designed to simplify and accelerate the development of MicroPython projects for the Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico W boards. This tool streamlines the coding process, providing code highlighting, auto-completion, code snippets, and project management features, all tailored for the seamless development experience with MicroPython on Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico W microcontrollers.
+**New Feature:** Experimental `ESP32-WROOM-32` support! (_Use the `Switch Stubs` command to get auto-completion for the `ESP32` port of MicroPython._)

+## Problems with Anti-Virus Software (mostly Windows)
+
+Sometimes after a new release of `pyboard-serial-com` (the underlying npm packge for communication with the board) some anti-virus software might block the execution of the extension.
+To fix this, make sure to update your local anti-virus definitions. If this doesn't help, open a new issue on GitHub and/or report the false-positive to your anti-virus vendor. Depending on the anti-virus software you are using, you might be able to whitelist the exectuable in pyboard-serial-com that is blocked by your anti-virus software.
