Hello. From what I can see of it, there is a new patched version available 3.8.117.38 I'm not familiar with Picasa...but if my memory serves me well...it's a matter of updating and then removing the older file manually. At present the Secunia advisory is showing all clear for fully patched Picasa 3. Hope this helps....regards, -- |

There's an update available here if it helps :- Critical Vulnerability Patched in Google Picasa March 25th, 2011, 16:31 GMT| By Lucian Constantin Google has released a new version of its Picasa image organizing software in order to address a vulnerability that could be exploited to execute arbitrary code remotely. According to vulnerability research vendor Secunia, which rates it as highly critical, the flaw allows for attacks known as DLL hijacking or binary planting. EDIT. Sorry....previous link was wrong......see here :- http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Graphic/Gr... -- |

Just glad you've managed to get yourself sorted ! If the issue is now resolved ; as you are the originator of the thread, you have the option to close it, by selecting ACCEPT. This will lock the thread : preventing tag-on posts and reminder e mails. Have a good weekend......regards, -- |

Just so you know , I ran the PSI's (version 2.0.0.3001) "Auto- Update" option (English language only available) for Picasa and it did the job perfectly ; I needed to close my Ff browser which has the Picasa plug-in for the update to complete fully .
