We removed the ENCODE/CLEAR macros as they were not strong enough compared to our virtualization macros. The ENCODE/CLEAR macros got their strength in older versions when our protection was using Ring-0 code. We later removed the Ring-0 protection and added our protection virtual machines, so our most powerful protection macros are the VM macros (VM_TIGER_WHITE, VM_FISH_RED, etc.). We encourage our customers to change their ENCODE/CLEAR macros with our newest VM macros to keep a good level of protection.
