Industry: Software

Press Release Summary: After ten years of refinement and eight product versions,
top-selling iolo System Mechanic still wins major industry awards and recognition,
and now expands into previously untapped foreign markets.


Press Release Body: This month iolo technologies ( http://www.iolo.com ) celebrates
a successful first decade in the software business, marked by the recent rapid
growth of iolo product sales in new international markets.

Founded in 1998 as a two-person shop developing a single utility for Windows, iolo
has been named as a Deloitte & Touche "Fast 50" Los Angeles company for growth for
three of the past four years.

"When I founded iolo technologies, I started with a tiny, 700-square foot office,
one employee, and a firm belief that hard work and a focused vision would pay off in
the end," said Noah T. Rowles, President and CEO of iolo technologies. "I fondly
remember personally programming that first version of System Mechanic back in 1998;
continuously designing, testing, and fine-tuning methods to get better performance
out of my own PC."

System Mechanic ( http://www.iolo.com/system-mechanic/standard/ ), iolo's flagship
product, has earned multiple major awards for quality and innovation, and has
evolved into a comprehensive, hugely popular PC tune-up utility that has sold over
21 million copies and is carried in thousands of stores worldwide. It is widely
viewed as the standard against which other PC performance products are measured.

In 2007, System Mechanic became the best-selling PC tune-up utility in the United
States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, according to NPD Group reports; it has
topped the sales charts nearly everywhere it has been introduced.

Having invested heavily in back-end technology and hired key executive management,
including the industry veterans behind some of the most successful performance
brands, iolo is poised to develop the next generation of PC tune-up software.

Previously offered in English and French, System Mechanic is now being localized in
multiple languages. Other iolo products and the iolo corporate web site are also
being upgraded to support a multilingual customer base.
