iSafeguard™ Browser Helper Object bug

If you are running Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 Server with latest security updates you may see the following error when visiting some web sites.

The problem may have been caused by our BHO (browser helper object). The BHO is used to simplify user interaction when signing and encrypting emails, as well as decrypting and verifying signed and encrypted email messages using Internet Explorer.

The bug has now been fixed.
