Current Firmware and Drivers

Protecting the DMC-EZ DICOM Media Creator solution from virus and other security threats is the sole responsibility of the end user. Anti-virus and other applications can be used on the DMC-EZ PC or Embedded Publishing System running the DMC-EZ software application; however care must be taken to limit the affect on the system’s performance. All anti-virus software should be configured to exclude real-time scanning of the image files. On the DMC-EZ systems, the files will be stored in sub-folders found in an "Images" folder in the root of one of the drive partitions. Scanning of the "Images" directory can be performed during off-peak hours; however the performance of the DMC-EZ system will be adversely affected while the scan is in progress.

AntiVirus

Other applications should not be installed on a DMC-EZ PC or Embedded Publishing System.
