We’re working on reducing the vulnerabilities of these issues and will publish additional information when available at www.pegasusimaging.com/faq.htm. In the meantime we recommend that users follow the Microsoft guidelines for reducing the vulnerability by increasing their browser security settings for ActiveX controls.
