File name:D:\OUT\GdPicture.NET.dll
Malware name: Win32:Induc
Malware type: Virus/Worm
VPS version: 090818, 18-08-2009

We have the problem with ActiveX edition v5.11.17 !!! Detected by Kaspersky in a compiled executable with Imaging/Viewer objects. I understand that these situations could happen, but still, we expect GdPicture taking extra measures for preventing distribution of infections to the customers. Although this particular malware was harmless to the system, it still caused panic, department-wide disinfection and a lost day. The consequences of a harmful malware would be much, much bigger.

We like your toolkit and we would not be glad if we had to switch to another vendor. Please take measures.
