Hi Kathy_9:

Corel takes security seriously and we are working quickly to get this corrected. Our team released a statement earlier in the week that you may find helpful, which I've included below.

-----------------

Corel is reviewing its products on a case-by-case basis to safeguard dynamic loading of DLL files, which is a common vulnerability in many Windows applications.

Corel makes frequent updates to our applications and these changes have been made a priority for the next update of any affected Corel product. We would like to assure our users that we are not aware of any exploits of this issue with our software.

Corel would like to remind all of its customers to follow safe internet practices and not open attachments, click on external links, download files, or visit an untrusted remote file system from any source they do not know and trust explicitly. Moreover, it is also a best practice to ensure that your system is running up-to-date anti-virus, firewall and malware protection software.

Corel takes our users' security seriously and we are working to identify and correct vulnerabilities in our applications.
