Campbell, CA: Wednesday, July 21, 1999. . . . Empower Pro, the
Internet-based software company which produces and distributes the
World's Most Advanced Macintosh Security Software, has released
Empower Pro(tm) 5.6. Empower Pro is designed exclusively for the
Apple Macintosh, Power Macintosh, PowerBook, and iMac families of
computers. Empower Pro allows Macintosh owners to control access to
their computers and password-protect their data with just a few mouse
clicks and keystrokes. Versions 5.6 of Empower and Empower Pro are
available for immediate download from (http://www.empowerpro.com), as
updates for current Empower users, upgrades for owners of previous
versions of Empower, or as a free trial.
With the release of version 5.6, Empower Pro once again demonstrates
its commitment to keeping its product on the cutting edge of
Macintosh software through continuous and timely development. Empower
Pro 5.6 contains code changes that optimize performance and provide
complete compatibility with Mac OS 8.6 and the Mac OS Extended (HFS+)
disk format. Empower Pro leverages both public and proprietary
security algorithms at the user's discretion. With a streamlined
interface, Empower Pro 5.6 provides the intuitive ease-of-use that
Macintosh owners expect, without compromising its powerful feature
set. Empower Pro 5.6 enables Macintosh users and network
administrators to protect their sensitive personal or corporate data
as well as their system and application folders from tampering or
unauthorized copying.
To assist its expanding user base, Empower Pro has extended technical
phone support to 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The call center
is backed by the Empower Pro development team and Apple Certified
Technicians ready to assist with installation, upgrade, and version
questions. "We're very excited to be moving forward with our expanded
support center and technical staff," said Empower Pro Product Manager
Dean Shavit, "by working closely with our developers, our support
team has had the ability to test our software with an array of system
configurations and network designs. Now, we can turn that experience
toward helping our customers." More information on support options is
available from (http://www.empowerpro.com/support.shtml).
