Press Release Body = 16th March 2006 - Uniblue Systems, a leading provider of
utility and backup & recovery management software for the SoHo and SMB market, today
announced the release of the Process Library Quick Access Info Bar.

Deep in the recesses of any computer, innumerable processes are running silently in
the background. Some hog system resources, drastically slowing computers down;
others harbor spyware and Trojans violating privacy and giving hackers free reign on
compromised systems. ProcessLibrary.com is a free online knowledge website aimed at
anyone who immediately wants to know the exact nature and purpose of every single
process. With over 500,000 daily individual searches and 9000+ process definitions
ProcessLibrary.com has become the most popular free online process information
service. The Process Library Quick Access Info Bar (available for free at
http://www.processlibrary.com/quickaccess/) is a plug-in for the Windows Task
Manager aimed at allowing users to instantly pull down process information and
security/performance advice from ProcessLibrary.com directly to their desktop
without 'googling' or surfing the web directly.

"Over the past year many of ProcessLibrary.com affecionados have regularly asked us
to release a toolbar for processes definitions and information", said Bosse
Malmberg, Chief Executive Officer at Uniblue. "The Process Library Quick Access
Info Bar is just that! It installs as a plug-in to the native Windows Task Manager
and upon successful installation, users will be able to see an information button
next to all the processes running on their computer. By clicking on the "I"-button,
users will activate a direct link into our ProcessLibrary.com database and a
definition of that process appears immediately in a browser window."

With the explosive growth of the average number of software packages, applications
and with the parallel increase in the number of threats, users have less knowledge
of what is legitimate and what is a breach. More and more people are becoming
sensitive to modern security threats. Adware, spyware, viruses and other forms of
malware are wreaking havoc among PCs worldwide. People are wizening up and have a
dire need for learning what is happening in their computers. They want to take more
active control of their systems and to that they need information about processes
and the dynamic link libraries (dll's) running invisibly in the background.

"The average user, usually opens up his or her Windows Task Manager when there is a
security threat or when their computer has suddenly slowed down or is acting up",
explains Malmberg. "They see one or more processes that seem suspect and have no
idea of what is happening. This is where the Quick Access Info Bar comes in - just
by clicking on the button users pull down ProcessLibrary.com information directly
onto their desktop without the need of typing out a search in the library itself or
going too their preferred search engine."

Written in plain English, the Process Library Quick Access Info Bar gives free,
anonymous, immediate and unlimited access to an extensive online database of
comprehensive process description to help users identify:
 Any unnecessary processes such as residual processes from uninstalled
programs (e.g. such as schedulers or audio players) that are harmless but that
impede the stable and smooth operation of a computer.
 Any processes that are considered harmful and that constitute a security
threat. Reports show that 90% of computers are infected by background processes
that pose a direct threat to system security, data integrity and personal privacy
while compromising performance. Attacks come in the form of spyware, adware,
keyloggers, viruses, trojans and worms.
 Any legitimate processes that are crucial to the operation of the system.
ProcessLibrary.com also recommends sites and products that help users eliminate
threats.

"We tell them what the process is all about, who has written it, what it is supposed
to do and whether it's OK to stop it. In some cases, like lsass.exe for example, we
even tell them that there is a Trojan with the same name. In this way people know
that if they find such a process they can run an anti-virus to make sure that their
system is safe. Like this they can also increase the performance of their
computers"


The information service is updated regularly on a weekly basis and has tripled in
size within a nine month period. With millions of page views every month,
ProcessLibrary.com has grown to become the primary reference point for thousands of
users around the globe.

ProcessLibrary.com grew as an extension of the information features of WinTasks, a
powerful utility software developed by Uniblue.
