Picasa 3.9 corrupting photos permanently?

[michael...@hotmail.com]

I installed Picasa 3.9 and now have suffered corruptions probably permanently to some jpgs in my genealogy folders. I uninstalled and they ares still completely damaged. They suggest reinstalling to fix problems. And risk further damage? That's not a route I would like to take. I was using the face recognition features in the free version so maybe that's the issue? Anyway that is a certain deal breaker for me and people should be very careful with this software and backup all important photos before installing and making sure the program doesn't scan the backups. A google search finds others with the same issue.
