Process Software Acquires Tenebril

Tenebril’s Anti-Spyware Software Provides Process Software Customers with a Complete Suite of Security Products

Framingham, MA, August 31, 2006 - Process Software, a unit of HALO Technology Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: HALO) and supplier of communications software solutions to mission-critical environments, today announced that it has acquired antispyware pioneer Tenebril for an undisclosed amount. The purchase of Tenebril enables Process Software to bring a powerful and comprehensive spyware detection and prevention solution to customers as part of its portfolio of enterprise security products and services.

Boston-based Tenebril is a privately held company providing award-winning Internet and spyware protection to consumers and organizations. The company’s SpyCatcher™ Enterprise is the first and only spyware solution that protects enterprise computers from the most insidious category of evasive threats - hyper-mutating and custom-coded spyware. Tenebril’s patent-pending Spyware Profiling Engine™ differentiates SpyCatcher from its competitors by providing continuous protection that defeats these newly emerging threats.

“Our customers view spyware as the latest growing security threat to their business,” said Brian McDonald, Process Software president and chief executive officer. “Tenebril’s SpyCatcher delivers the fastest, safest and most complete removal of spyware while offering enterprise-class manageability, scalability and performance. We are pleased to combine our technology strengths to offer our customers and partners a comprehensive enterprise security solution.”

“Companies are struggling to protect themselves from today’s threats,” added Christian Carrillo, Tenebril founder and president. “Process Software has demonstrated their commitment to the enterprise by adding anti-spyware to their product portfolio. Their customers will benefit strongly from SpyCatcher’s technology.”
