Business Wire, June 6, 2007

NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. -- TouchStone Software Corporation (OTCBB:TSSW) today announced that it has acquired DriverMagic.com and its related assets. The acquired assets include the web domain DriverMagic.com and the device driver update application DriverWizard. Additional assets include the spyware application HiJackPro and the HiJackPro.com web domain. DriverMagic.com has established itself as an early leader in the on-line device driver update business and as a highly visible device driver related web site on the Internet. DriverMagic.com and DriverWizard were originally launched on the Internet in January of 2003 with operations based in the UK. The Company intends to immediately absorb the operations into its existing USA based headquarters with no additional head count.

"The acquisition of DriverMagic.com will instantly expand and create additional revenue opportunities for TouchStone's DriverAgent on-line device driver update subscription service by exposing DriverAgent to a broader potential customer base and convert existing DriverWizard users to DriverAgent's subscription model" said Jason Raza, president and chief executive officer of TouchStone Software Corporation. "The related technology we acquired with HiJackPro will enable TouchStone to add a spyware application to its growing network of Internet based services in the future".

Website Statistics for DriverMagic.com:
