Outsells Microsoft Plus Pack and Netscape Navigator
SANTA MONICA, Calif. - May 31, 1996 - First Aid 95 , the self-help Technical support
software package from CyberMedia, is now the #2 best-selling Windows ® 95 business
productivity software product, according to the March, 1996 PC Data report. In March, the
only Windows 95 application that outsold First Aid in the business productivity category
was the Microsoft Windows 95 operating system itself.
Since introduction in September, 1994, CyberMedia has sold more than 1,000,000 copies of
First Aid to more than 4,000 stores worldwide. Recently CyberMedia shipped First Aid 95
Deluxe, an Internet-enhanced version, and announced Oil Change, a new technology that
automatically updates all the software on a personal computer over the Internet.
"First Aid 95's ease of use has made computing much more enjoyable and no longer a
chore," said Karl H. Moreland, Marketing Manager Education and Government Sales for
MicroAge Computer Center, a leading personal computer retail chain. "I strongly
recommend First Aid 95 to all Windows users."
"First Aid's rapid sales prove there is a significant demand for self-help software that
automatically fixes personal computer problems," says CyberMedia president and CEO
Unni Warrier. "Users are crying for this kind of help. We are leading the industry in
creating an entirely new category of software - instant technical support software that
makes personal computers easier and less frustrating to use."" Traditional software
"utilities" are software programs designed for 'techies' and experts. These programs
diagnose computer problems and improve the performance or reliability of the operating
system - but they have traditionally been quite intimidating for most PC users," Warrier
explains. "Self-help software goes way beyond this. CyberMedia's products do the grunt
work for you, so they can be used by anybody with a PC."
CyberMedia develops and markets self-help products and services that automatically
prevent and fix the most common software and hardware problems. Founded in 1991,
CyberMedia is privately held with company headquarters at: 3000 Ocean Park Boulevard,
