SANTA MONICA, CA - - (April 7, 1998) - CyberMediaÒ , Inc. (NASDAQ\NMS: CYBR) today announced that the editors of Windows Magazine were so impressed with the best-selling business software program, First AidÒ 98 that they honored it with a place on the April WinList. This influential list provides readers with a monthly reference guide of recommended products compiled by the magazine’s editors.

According the Windows Magazine editors, "It’s a top-notch user interface depicting a desk with all the components and peripherals of an average PC. Everything that needs to be configured is; just click the big Check-Up button to give your system a physical. It’s hard to imagine a more comprehensible utility interface."

Windows Magazine compiles the monthly WinList by evaluating, testing and comparing hundreds of hardware and software products each month to identify the latest and greatest products in each category.

First Aid 98 provides several innovative features that few competing products, including the most recent introductions, can match.

Some of the key technological enhancements that have been added to First Aid 98 include:

Fixes Web Connections - First Aid 98 enhances its capability to repair Internet access problems. It examines the entire PC Internet setup - modem, browser, and Internet Service Provider (ISP). If a problem is identified, First Aid 98 fixes it by readjusting the system or, reinstalling or updating files.

Fixes Applications - First Aid 98 now identifies missing program and system files, and replaces them with the original files from the manufacturer’s CD, alleviating the need to reinstall entire programs, or even Windows itself.

Simplified User-Interface - Following exhaustive usability tests, First Aid 98’s user interface has been redesigned to make it far simpler and more natural. Resembling a user’s desk, the interface features easy-to-identify, graphical representations of a complete system - from the PC to the printer. Users can click on one button to perform a complete system "Check-Up" or simply "click where it hurts" for focused diagnosis. First Aid 98 now categorizes the problems it finds as critical (must be fixed immediately) or likely (may cause problems in the future). It also provides tips and suggestions on improving the PC’s performance and usability.

Emergency Recovery - When a PC does not start up correctly, its Emergency Recovery System checks critical components of Windows. If a problem is found, First Aid 98 fixes it by readjusting the system or reinstalling missing files.

Installs Updates Needed To Resolve Conflicts- First Aid 98 employs CyberMedia’s Oil ChangeÔ Internet update technology to retrieve and install updates to drivers and software programs which can resolve bugs and software conflicts.

"How Do I . . . " Videos and "Automated Tasks" - The consumer-friendly "How Do I …" button provides easy access to informative videos that demonstrate specific functions such as how to adjust settings. It also includes "automated tasks" that give users access to controls to adjust settings directly from the First Aid 98 environment.
