Press Release Summary = The new PE Explorer release provides a framework for

Press Release Body = Heaventools Software (www.heaventools.com) announced today the
availability of PE Explorer 1.99, the latest release of its software development
tool for inspection and editing of Windows executable files. The new PE Explorer
release includes a digital signature viewer that enables verifying the signed
executables and validating the software publisher\'s identity. It also adds the
ability to mark pre-Vista applications with a requested execution level, providing
the way to deploy the same build of the application on both Windows Vista and
Windows XP.

Though anti-virus software is continually getting better, a significant percentage
of malware escapes the automated screening process and manages to wreak havoc on
networks. PE Explorer offers an in-depth look at the inner workings of downloaded
executable files, and helps software companies determine if a binary is harmful by
examining it manually and without relying on the automated scanning engines. The
product includes functions for disassembly and inspection of unknown binaries,
modification of the properties of executable files, plus customization and
translation features. With PE Explorer, software engineers and security specialists
can apply a professional approach to research and reverse engineering of binary
files.

PE Explorer is an integrated collection of tools that provides a framework for
working with EXE, DLL, ActiveX controls, and several other executable file formats
that run on MS Windows 32-bit platforms. PE Explorer Disassembler helps developers
figure out what software that they have no source code for does in a particular
feature or function to the degree that they can either modify this code, or
reproduce it in another independent work. The built-in resource editor allows
companies to adjust software to their own needs and solve Vista install issues. The
program uses a wizard-based approach to generating an application manifest which
enables a target application to take advantage of the new common control styles and
run elevated as an administrator on Windows Vista.
