I received a lot of error reports because of the PAF plugin.

After a few investigation I discover that the message "SyMenu.Plugin.PAF.dll is broken" is shown because of a security problem. In fact when you download SyMenu.zip for the first time Windows marks it as dangerous because it comes from the network. Well it is not SyMenu to be dangerous but everything you download from the Internet is... Thanks for your thoughtfulness Microsoft.

This may not be a problem but some unzipping programs such as Winrar or the Explorer integrated extractor preserve this mark in the extracted files too and this is a problem instead for the PAF plugin.

To workaround this error simply check the properties of the SyMenu\Plugin\SyMenu.Plugin.PAF\SyMenu.Plugin.PAF.dll file.
Probably you will find it blocked as you can see in the image.
Simply Unblock it pressing the right button and your PAF plugin works again.

The problem should not affect SyMenu if you are updating the program with the integrated update feature. If it is not please report it to me.



UPDATE
Starting with the version 3.04 SyMenu gives an alert more specific when it found a blocke plugin.
See the manual for further info.
