Over 125 million downloads of Spyware Doctor Now
San Francisco, June 12, 2007 - Leading Internet security software vendor PC
Tools has just achieved a product milestone on the third anniversary of the
Spyware Doctor launch - generating 100 million website downloads of its
multi-award winning anti-spyware tool, Spyware Doctor, since the product was
launched in June 2004.
"This is a key moment in PC Tools' history as we embark on a new development
phase - assembling powerful technology to combat zero-hour threats and creating
new approaches to combat malware," said Simon Clausen, CEO of PC Tools. "Our
success in part comes from our consumer-based approach, which is to provide
users with powerful, easy-to-use tools to combat emerging threats."
"The fact that 100 million users have chosen to download PC Tools' Spyware
Doctor is a testament to PC Tools' innovative and easy to use software design,"
said Clausen. "The new Spyware Doctor reflects the best-of- breed-approach that
PC Tools has taken in producing all of its products and consumers have been
very receptive to this," Clausen added.
PC Tools, which recently announced the acquisition of Cyberhawk™ from
Colorado-based Novatix Corporation and the establishment of a new advanced
research office in Boulder, is strategically positioning itself as a leader in
the Internet security space.
"Consumers will soon be able to witness the advantages of the new capabilities
PC Tools have acquired such as Cyberhawk™, which is a best-of-breed
behavioural
detection technology. This will allow PC Tools to continue to detect more
malware than our competitors," said Clausen.
Clausen explained that PC Tools' success is based on the quality of employees
it continues to attract and the high standards PC Tools continues to maintain.
"We believe in building a strong company by hiring exceptional people and
supporting their efforts. The last three years have certainly been exciting and
rewarding. We expect the next three to be even more so."

PC Tools vindicated in Zango lawsuit
San Francisco, 28th August 2007: Controversial adware publisher Zango today
conceded defeat by voluntarily withdrawing its proceedings against anti-spyware
maker PC Tools. This news follows the courts denial of Zango’s application for
a Temporary Restraining Order in June 2007.
While Zango’s legal proceedings have sought to remove the detection of their
products by PC Tools’ anti-spyware application, Spyware Doctor, the Court found
in June of this year that it was “unlikely that the Plaintiff will be able to
prove that the Defendant’s software was unfair or deceptive...”.
“It appears that Zango has realised they were not going to prevail in this
matter and the case has been withdrawn on this basis” said Simon Clausen, Chief
Executive Officer, PC Tools. “We believe the case should not have been brought
in the first place. The outcome sends a strong message that PC Tools will not
be changing their classification of programs as a result of the threat of legal
proceedings.”
“It is our responsibility to provide consumers with an effective anti-malware
product. PC Tools will continue to be vigilant in classifying potential threats
and expend whatever resources are necessary to protect its brand and
reputation,” said Clausen.
