Press Release

UNIBLUE ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF PROCESS LIBRARY'S QUICK ACCESS INFOBAR RELEASE FOR USERS WANTING INSTANT INFORMATION ON PROCESSES RUNNING ON THEIR PC.

Process Library Quick Access Info Bar is a free plug-in for the Windows Task Manager that delivers instant information on more than 9000 processes.

6th 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 enhancing user computing experience by providing instant process information and advice from ProcessLibrary.com.

"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 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.
