<p>On Guard is World's Only Multi-platform Desktop Security Software<br />
Offering a Consistent Cross-platform Interface</p>
<p>Minneapolis -- May 10, 1999 -- Power On Software announced today that<br />
it has developed the world's first and only desktop security product<br />
that offers a consistent design and interface across both Windows and<br />
Macintosh Operating Systems. Based on the industry leading On Guard<br />
for Macintosh, the Windows version offers the same ease of use with a<br />
simple point and click setup. On Guard is the only product on the<br />
market that offers the ProTek Panel, a fast and easy control center<br />
for configuring all aspects of desktop security. On Guard for Windows<br />
is shipping today and is available from the Power On Software web<br />
site. Retail shipments are due in stores by the end of the month.</p>
<p>On Guard for Macintosh has long been an industry staple in desktop<br />
security for educational markets, with an installed base of over one<br />
million. John Wallace, President of Power On Software explained the<br />
enormous advantage of the On Guard solution. "With the release of the<br />
Windows version, we are able to offer the only product that provides<br />
a single, consistent interface on both the Windows and Macintosh<br />
platforms," Mr. Wallace stated. "Administrators responsible for<br />
desktop security will now have more time to accomplish other tasks<br />
since it is no longer necessary to learn how to use disparate<br />
products in a mixed environment. On Guard's interface is so simple<br />
that desktop security on Windows will no longer be a chore. For the<br />
first time in the annals of security products, once you use the<br />
product on one platform, you know how to use it on the other, and<br />
each platform maintains its traditional look and feel<br />
characteristics."</p>
<p>On Guard secures the desktop computer without changing the user<br />
interface, thereby avoiding user confusion. On Guard installs easily<br />
and offers preconfigured user accounts for even greater ease of<br />
setup. On Guard prevents users from renaming, copying, or deleting<br />
files or folders. It locks the user out of sensitive areas of the<br />
System to ensure that computers are always up and running. On Guard<br />
even allows the security of an entire network to be configured from a<br />
single machine.</p>
<p>On Guard reduces the cost of setup and maintenance by eliminating the<br />
common causes of computer malfunction - user error. On Guard<br />
eliminates missing file problems, while protecting access to programs<br />
and data from unauthorized access. On Guard is the perfect solution<br />
for environments where multiple users share computers, as each user<br />
can be provided with a customized work environment suited for their<br />
specific needs. Nonessential files can be hidden so that the user<br />
experience can be simplified, thereby enhancing productivity by<br />
making tasks simpler to accomplish. Multiple levels of security can<br />
also be set and On Guard will even track access to the computer and<br />
provide reports to warn of attempted security breaches.</p>
<p>On Guard for Windows is available now at a suggested retail price of<br />
$49.95. Special educational discounts and site licenses are<br />
available. Powers On products are available at dealers and<br />
distributors worldwide, as well as through Microwarehouse, Pacific<br />
Business Systems, and Multiple Zones International.</p>
<p>Power On Software, Inc. was founded in 1993 and has established<br />
itself as a leader in utility software with its security product, On<br />
Guard, as well as its network utilities, LAN Commander and Screen<br />
To Screen. With the introduction of ACTION Files, the product that<br />
The Mac Report called the greatest third party extension of all time<br />
and received Macworld's prestigious Eddy Award nomination for best<br />
utility of the year, Power On successfully launched its ACTION<br />
Utilities line. To further its dominant position in the utilities<br />
market, Power On acquired Now Utilities from Qualcomm Incorporated<br />
and Norton DiskLock (now sold as DiskLock) from Symantec Corporation.<br />
Power On is committed to providing the highest quality utility<br />
software, with an emphasis on system enhancements and maintenance,<br />
and a strong customer oriented philosophy.</p>
