How to Install GhostScript In Gimp For Windows.

GhostScript is a plugin for Gimp so you can open postscript format file with Gimp.

What is eps/postscript file?

PostScript (.PS) file that may contain 2D vector graphics, bitmap images, and text; includes an embedded preview image in bitmap format; often used for transferring image data between different operating systems.

Programs That Open PostScript File
Adobe Illustrator, Acrobat, Photoshop or CorelDraw.
If you running Gimp using Linux system, you don't need this plugin.

  1. First, download the latest GPL GhostScript Package
  2. Open GhostScript installer and follow the instruction.
  3. You need to set an environment variable GS_PROG to point to gswin32c.exe
  • Go to Control Panel-->System-->Advance
  • Now click On Environment Variables.
  • You can choose between user or system variable. I choose user
  • Next, Click new and type GS_PROG in variable names.
  • In variables value, point to gswin32c.exe, in my case (D:\Program Files\gs\gs8.62\bin\gswin32.exe)
Done, now your gimp can open eps/.ps/postscript file. In addition, your gimp now can also open pdf file.

Happy Gimping

Fake Windows Security Alert And VirusProtectPro

Fake Windows Security Alert And VirusProtectPro
About two days ago, I read an interesting article about fake windows security alert. You will receive an e-mail that ask you to download an update

The e-mail messages claim to describe a "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer" that fixes a critical security flaw in the browser. It comes with a link entitled "Download this update."
When users click on this link, they are taken to a server that attempts to install malicious software known as Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.avk. [source]


Yesterday, my friend asked me to check his computer because windows security alert keep on pop up and alert him with active spyware that running. I asked him to scan with antivirus first before I arrive.

My friend use Bitdefender 10, but can't detect anything, Ad-aware also can't change anything. So I try clicking the security alert and Internet explorer automatically visit VirusProtectPro website. I close the window and right click at the security alert, the same thing happen. I asked my friend did he downloading windows update via e-mail. He do nothing, just download and install a plugin for Internet Explorer.

We out of option, so lets the expert do the job. We asked Mr Google :p . I search for "virusprotect pro" and we find the solution, it different from the article I mention before but still a new trojan. The trojan disguise as a plugin for browser and sometime can install itself without user knowledge. So becareful when downloading a plugin.

Click this link if your computer infected by this Trojan.
