PivX Featured in October 2004 PC Magazine Article; Qwik-Fix Pro is highlighted in an article titled 'Locking Down Internet Explorer'.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- PivX Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:PIVX), the leader in next generation host-based intrusion prevention software for the Windows(R) enterprise security market is proud to announce that Qwik-Fix Pro is featured in the October 5, 2004 edition of PC Magazine (page 90).

"This is another important step for PivX as we gain both significant market exposure and positive third party feedback from an article in a respected publication like PC Magazine," said Rob Shively, CEO at PivX Solutions.

Among the many quotes from the article, a few stand out: "Over the past year, as Microsoft revealed new exploits in Internet Explorer, PivX released its own announcements detailing how Qwik-Fix Pro users were already protected. PivX's solution is to identify and block vulnerabilities before they are exploited." The final sentence in the article states: "Qwik-Fix Pro works on Windows 95 and later, even XP with SP2. PivX claims to address security at a much deeper level than Microsoft, so you might want to try Qwik-Fix Pro even if you use XP. But if you use a non-XP version of Windows, you definitely need a security boost like Qwik-Fix Pro."
