CARLSBAD, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Feb. 14, 2005 -- Com-Guard Exhibits a Suite of Security Products

Com-Guard, Inc. (OTCBB:CGUD) a leading provider of security systems and security products for the PC computer industry, today announced that it will be exhibiting its Suite of Security Products at the fourteenth annual RSA Conference to be held at the San Francisco's Moscone Center on February 15th-18th, 2005.

This conference, considered the world's leading information security conference and exposition, is based on a different theme each year highlighting a significant use and/or misuse of information security. The theme for 2005 is "The Codes of Prohibition" and will focus on new ways to protect an enterprise from information security breaches and securing applications from increasingly more sophisticated hackers. New product demonstrations at the conference will be presented by 250 leading-edge vendors and highlight the latest technology. In excess of 10,000 participants will take advantage of the conference to network with colleagues. A poll of 2004 attendees indicated 97% felt that the RSA Conference was an important event to attend.

Com-Guard Inc. is announcing the introduction of two new products: -0- *T 1. SafePC(TM) was developed to address the problem of pornographic images and other objectionable material being seen by unsuspecting minors or employees as they attempt to use the Internet to access information, communicate with email or in chat sessions. Recent statistics indicate: 11 years old - The average age of the first Internet exposure to pornography(a) 8 to 16 years old - 90% viewed porn online while doing homework(a) 20% of men & 13% of women admit to accessing pornography at work(a) (a) (TopTenReviews, Inc.) 1 in 4 kids reported having at least one unwanted exposure to sexually explicit pictures during the past year. (National Research Council) 1 out of 5 children reported receiving a sexual solicitation. (National Research Council) 27% of Fortune 500 companies have been subject to sexual harassment lawsuits related to inappropriate email or Internet use. (ePolicy Institute) "From the classroom to the courtroom, there is much debate about how best to safeguard children from online predators and sexually explicit material on the Web. Unfortunately, there is no panacea for protecting youth from Internet pornography," says a new National Academies report. The book Youth, Pornography, and the Internet is a practical guide for parents, teachers, librarians, information technology vendors, service providers and public policy-makers, which suggests that the best strategy for protecting children is a combination of social/educational interventions, technology-based tools, and legal/regulatory approaches. 2. ComputerSafe(TM) - Since Identity Theft continues to be the number one complaint received by the Federal Trade Commission, PC users must exercise caution in safeguarding their computer files from unauthorized access. However, it is well known that traditional measures are not very effective as Cyber Crime continues to mount. While all computers should have anti-virus and firewall protection, these safeguards are, at best, only partially effective. Real dangers stem from new viruses, spyware and new hacking methods launched over the Internet. Furthermore, these commonly relied on measures do not prevent internal attacks which are more frequent, often more costly and dangerous than those externally generated. *T

File and Folder Locking, Hiding and/or File Encryption:

As its name suggests, ComputerSafe(TM) provides an internal "Safe" inside the computer where one can store vital information and protect oneself from Identity Theft and data security breaches. The product enables the user to select the level of file and/or folder security they wish to utilize. From password dependent file or folder locks, to hiding files and folders from being seen, to encoding files using a robust, private keyed, 256-bit encryption algorithm, users have total control over their information, keeping it safe from any intrusion.

ComputerSafe(TM) safeguards a virtually unlimited number of files. Meanwhile, its unique combination of file protection, event recording, and notification services provides an umbrella of security for critical programs and data to protect against loss, corruption and unwanted access.

Violations are Tracked and Stored:

ComputerSafe(TM) records unauthorized access violations in a protected event-log file with a time and date-stamped description of the threat. The system records key stroke activity that may provide clues as to the intruder's intentions or their identity.

Notification Services - Theft Recovery:

ComputerSafe(TM) sends various types of remote notifications to pagers, phones, and generates emails when violations occur. If the system is set up to record video of the violation, the resulting video clip can be attached to the email. Additionally, the system can be configured for theft recovery so that if the system is stolen, the next time it is connected to the Internet and when an internal ComputerSafe(TM) alarm is tripped, an email notification will be sent containing the IP address of its location. This data can be used to physically locate the computer.

Dr. Edward W. Savarese, Chairman and CEO of Com-Guard, Inc. stated: "We have prepared for this conference for the past year by developing and partnering with technology companies to provide Security from the Cell Phone to the Desktop. We encourage attendees to visit our Booth #947 and see the wide variety of Security products that we have to offer."

Mr. Joseph Sigismonti, Com-Guard, Inc.'s President and COO, said: "The RSA Conference is an ideal venue to announce our new products and it provides an excellent opportunity for us to show the industry members Com-Guard's line of products. Com-Guard is announcing a number of new products and we want to take full advantage of this conference to expose the industry's leaders to our latest products and technologies."
