I experienced the same problems under the same circumstances. Eventually re-established a normal situation. But you're right, Andr�, about what "normal user" would do or not do. After short investigation I found out this hadn't happened to other plugins.
>From there to think that this is not innocent there's only a short step... besides, who needs any more proofs of immoral behavior? This is a damage inflicted without warning. The question is not about Adobe updating ASV, the question is about the security settings being altered by installation of SP2 and "normal user", together with a good bunch of administrators, won't bother or know how to. That damage can be repared but SVG pays the bill. Well done! Domenico --- In [email protected], "Andr� M.
