As you may have become aware, a new breed of virus has been released into the public domain that affects your digital pictures, or in other words, is capable of destroying the memories you have saved on your computer. This virus attacks the GDI+ system file that ships with Microsoft Windows and is used by many programs to display JPEG images and other graphic files. While this sounds terrible, we at Jasc want to let you know that we take great measures to keep you safe while using our products. Jasc products use the GDI+ technology, but not in a way that makes you vulnerable as a user. This patch will aid in the safety of your pictures and protect against future GDI+ security breeches. While this patch solidly protects you while using Jasc products, we cannot guarantee that you are safe while using other products, so after installing this patch we suggest that you read the Jasc Knowledge Base article on this issue for further suggestions on protecting your computer and your memories. To further protect your images, use Paint Shop Photo Album to create a PhotoSafe Archive of all of your important memories. If you are not currently using Photo Album, you can download a fully functional trial version from the Jasc website. This will give you a protected CD or DVD of all your images that is safe from any virus attack. If you know who wrote the virus, slap them up side the head, and then report them to the proper authorities. Thank you for your continual support and loyalty to Jasc Software.
