TouchStone Software Releases WinCheckIt(R) Diagnostic Software, version 6.5 -- 10th Anniversary Edition
Latest version of award-winning program includes free virus protection from Command Software
NORTH ANDOVER, Mass., Dec. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- TouchStone Software Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: TSSW - news), a leading developer of innovative software to help people use complex technologies, today released WinCheckIt© version 6.5. The latest version of this award-winning program, which enables users to uncover potential problems, check performance and assess system reliability, now features Windows NT support as well Command AntiVirus(TM) software from Command Software Systems, Inc.
``The latest release of WinCheckIt marks the tenth anniversary of the CheckIt brand of diagnostic software from TouchStone,' said Pierre Narath, Chairman, President and CEO of TouchStone Software Corporation. ``We're pleased to be able to offer features such as NT support and software virus protection, along with the state-of-the-art diagnostic tools our customers have come to expect.'
WinCheckIt offers the strongest hardware diagnostic tests available for Windows 95/98 and NT, based on the same award-winning technology that powered the CheckIt98 Diagnostic Suite. WinCheckIt enables users to find problems fast, speed up system performance and protect against crashes.
For NT users, WinCheckIt enables you to view key system information, then check the system's operation with fast, effective diagnostic tests. WinCheckIt reports on network shares, event log entries, system services, networked machines and logged-on users.
WinCheckIt offers users the ability to assess their PC's performance with a comprehensive benchmark feature that gauges relative execution speed. Furthermore, to ensure the system hardware is capable of reliable NT computing, an all-new Stress Test exercises core components to uncover potential problems in a multi-tasking environment.
``We are pleased to partner with TouchStone Software to offer WinCheckIt customers the security and peace of mind that Command AntiVirus provides,' said Dyan Dyer, President of Command Systems, Inc. ``The addition of state-of-the-art virus protection to this comprehensive diagnostic tool represents a real value to the consumer.'
Command AntiVirus(TM) features Dynamic Virus Protection, which provides real-time scanning of the boot sector every time a floppy is read, and scans every program file prior to execution (including files downloaded from the Internet and e-mail attachments). Command AntiVirus was one of the first products to earn both levels of Checkmark certification, proving its ability to detect 100% of in-the-wild viruses, and to disinfect them as well.
Command AntiVirus employs HoloCheck(TM) technology to determine virus and virus-like conduct. Command AntiVirus identifies and protects against both known and unknown viruses, isolating infected files before they have a chance to execute and infect your system.
WinCheckIt 6.5 also includes Clean & Zip file management and compression utility, and The PC Toolbox(TM), a 32-page newsletter from Dynamic Learning Systems dedicated to fixing and tuning PC's.
