OREM, UT USA
   Software Program Doesn't Need to Be Installed Prior to Data Loss.  Free
            Demonstration Version Available on PowerQuest Website.

    OREM, Utah, Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- As the proliferation of viruses and
other malicious attacks aimed at computers continues to grow, PowerQuest
Corporation announces its data recovery product Lost & Found will recover data
lost from many strains of viruses including the ExploreZip.worm.pak virus,
a.k.a. Minizip.

    A free demonstration version of the program is available from the
PowerQuest Website (http://www.powerquest.com).  With this version, the virus victim
can determine the likelihood of data recovery before purchase.
    Lost & Found is effective with the Minizip virus because the data actually
remains on the disk even though the operating system cannot read the deleted
data.  Lost & Found's unique data recovery solution bypasses the operating
system to search for files that appear to have vanished.  This software is
designed to be easy to use for people at all levels of computer experience.
    Lost & Found also recovers data lost due to accidental deletion and
corrupted operating systems.  A key benefit over other recovery methods is
that Lost & Found may be loaded after the data loss.  Lost & Found is not
meant to replace anti-virus software and computer users should not rely on
Lost & Found as a replacement for standard virus security policies.  The Lost
& Found program is an effective solution with select viruses, such as the
ExploreZip, Melissa and Thursday viruses, when preventive measures were not
enacted and data loss has already occurred.  More information on Lost & Found
is available at: http://www.powerquest.com/lostandfound/index.html
