Watsonville, CA—Aladdin Systems, Inc., an Aladdin Systems Holdings, Inc. company (OTC BB: ALHI), announced Internet Cleanup 1.0 J, a new Macintosh and Windows privacy tool in Japanese that blocks banner ads, pop-ups, and detects the presence of spyware on the computer.

The built-in digital document shredder, Secure Delete™, allows for permanent deletion of any file or folder. Internet Cleanup works with all the popular Macintosh browsers including Safari and Internet Explorer. “The Japanese market, like the U.S. market, continues to see significant growth in Internet traffic,” said Mr. M. Kato, President of act2. “With that traffic has come increasing amounts of unsolicited pop-up’s and advertising. We are excited to bring the new Internet Cleanup to our markets, giving Japanese greater control over their Internet experience.”

When SpyAlert finds evidence of spyware, the user is presented with the option of deletion or saving it. [In some cases users may want to keep the spyware on their machine but be aware that their actions are being monitored.

Internet Cleanup puts people back in control.”
OCTIV RELEASES FIRST AUDIO PLUG-IN FOR APPLE ITUNES
Octiv’s Volume Logic Plug-in Improves the Quality of Sound with Real-Time Digital Remastering
|
Berkeley, CA — Octiv, the audio and telephony innovator, has just released the first audio plug-in ever available for Apple’s iTunes player. The Volume Logic plug-in runs on Mac OS X and provides real-time digital remastering for improved quality of sound. It is available through a public beta program that runs until December 31, 2003. Free downloads are available at: http://www.octiv.com
Octiv’s Volume Logic plug-in improves the quality of the listening experience by digitally remastering audio in real-time with the same technology used by the pros in the music and broadcast business. Anything playing in iTunes, including MP3s, AACs, Internet radio, or CDs, will be digitally remastered for consistent volume level and spectral balance. Low levels are intelligently raised and loud signals are kept under control, all in real-time.
The Volume Logic plug-in incorporates a state-of-the-art 5-band dynamics processor that examines and adjusts the audio thousands of times a second. Files are not scanned or modified. All the audio processing takes place in real-time while the audio is sent to your speakers or headphones.
Octiv was able to make their audio processing technology compatible with iTunes by working with Rogue Amoeba’s Audio Hijack technology that enables the recording of audio from any application. Rogue Amoeba offers a line of Audio Hijack audio capture utilities for consumers as well.
