FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CyberMedia, Inc. Announces its Full Year and Quarterly Results for 1997

SANTA MONICA, CA – (March 30, 1998) – CyberMedia, Inc. (NASDAQ/NMS: CYBR), today filed its annual report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This report reflects and is consistent with changes announced on March 12, 1998 relating to decreases in fourth quarter revenue and net income (loss), compared with amounts shown in the fourth quarter earnings release on January 29, 1998.

Revenues for the full year ended December 31, 1997 were $71,227,000, an 85% increase from the $38,524,000 reported during 1996. Including the one-time acquisition related charges associated with UnInstallerÔ and ServiceWare of $11,341,000, CyberMedia reported a net loss of $11,740,000 or $.97 per share for the full year 1997, compared to a net loss of $3,483,000 or $.88 per share in 1996.

For the quarter ended December 31, 1997, the company reported revenues of $11,790,000, a 26% decrease from the $15,830,000 reported for the same period in 1996. Net loss for the period was $8,014,000 or $.64 per share versus net income of $68,000 or $.01 per share during the fourth quarter the previous year.

The per share calculation for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 reflects a reduction of shares outstanding from that reported on January 29, 1998 to eliminate the anti-dilutive effect of common stock equivalents in a loss situation. The per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 1996 has also been changed to reflect the requirements of SFAS No.128 and SAB No. 98 as further described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
