I have to tell you something, but I don’t have much time…
Something strange has happened here. I started experimenting with Snagit and I discovered something. Something horrifying I cannot fully comprehend or even begin to explain. And I am afraid my time is running out.
I will try to get more information to you shortly, but I think they are watching me…
I am scared, very scared.

Returnil Virtual Security 2010
SoftwareCasa just reported that they will start offering the Returnil Virtual Security products in the SoftwareCasa download store.
RVS 2010 uses a powerful combination of antivirus, antimalware and a virtual system to protect your computer from all types of viruses and unwanted system changes. While mainstream vendors continue to fight a losing battle against malware, Returnil has taken a completely different approach to security.
“We are proud to add Returnil´s great product line to our already strong Security portfolio.”, says Peter Gillberg, SoftwareCasa Store Manager.
RVS 2010 clones (copies) your operating system and creates a virtual environment in your PC. Instead of loading the native operating system, a clone is loaded that allows you to run your applications and perform your online activities in an entirely isolated environment.

SoftwareCasa recently released a new series of Stamps that can be used directly in Snagit.
SuperStamps brings a huge collection of professional looking, beautiful and highly customizable images/icons. They come in many different colors with a glassy modern outlook. SuperStamps is easy to install and use directly from the Snagit Editor.
SuperStamps include 654 high quality .png images. The collection of images and icons cover wide areas suitable for Technical Reports, Presentations, Websites, Blogs, Web 2.0, Software Applications, Tutorials, Videos and many other areas.
The images ranges from 256×256 up to 470×470 pixels .png format. The .png format also makes SuperStamps highly scalable. You can decrease or increase the size without losing any quality.
Included with SuperStamps comes a 22 page PDF manual with an overview of all included SuperStamps for easy reference for your projects.
SuperStamps version 2 is due to be released early next week.
SnagitGuide just posted a video today showcasing some of the new features.
