Lotus Fund Acquires Controlling Interest in PIVX Solutions From Co-Founders; Seeks to Leverage Company's Unique Windows Security Technology

Business Wire, April 7, 2005

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- PIVX Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:PIVX), the leader in next generation Windows Host-Based Intrusion Prevention software, announces today that the private equity firm Lotus Fund has increased their holdings in PIVX to become the controlling shareholder of the company.

"We are very excited about the IT security industry, and we view host intrusion prevention as the next significant area of growth within that industry," said Tydus Richards, director at Lotus Fund and the new Chairman of the Board at PIVX. "We evaluated many different companies in this space and are impressed with the technology, the team and the momentum at PIVX. Given the continually growing threats to PC users, PIVX's products provide the protection that Windows users must have to be truly protected against hackers and the malware they deploy. The co-founders of PIVX have a legacy to be proud of and now we are assembling the team to take the Company to the next level."

The company's primary software product, Qwik-Fix Pro, is designed to proactively block known and unknown software threats in all versions of Microsoft Windows and Internet Explorer. Using Active System Hardening technology, Qwik-Fix Pro combines automatic remediation of critical software security flaws with targeted configuration management. This host-based technology is driven by world-class security research and mitigates critical software vulnerabilities well before Microsoft releases a patch or an anti-virus signature is written.

"Defective software represents the greatest security risk facing organizations today. With tens of millions of lines of code in Microsoft Windows, the potential for abuse is extremely high and will continue to plague industries that rely upon this platform," said PIVX CTO, Alex Tosheff. "Windows users must take a different approach to mitigating this risk and by using a product like Qwik-Fix Pro as a key component in a layered-security approach, they can achieve the best possible protection against the greatest number of threats. In many cases, we are providing the 'patch before the patch.'"

"We are very pleased that we are having success on multiple fronts," said Luis Curet, Interim CEO and senior vice president of sales and marketing at PIVX. "We are seeing increased traction within our OEM, International, Enterprise, Consumer and Forensic Services groups. It is clear that companies understand the unique value proposition that we provide. In addition, we're seeing a huge number of downloads of Pre>View, our recently launched security scorecard application for Windows computers."

PIVX will hold an investor conference call at 4:15 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Thursday, April 14, 2005. PIVX Solution's Chairman of the Board Tydus Richards and PIVX's Interim CEO Luis Curet will host the call.
