Avanquest Systems Suite Performance Optimization Software Licensed for "Magic Flash Drive" Remote PC Repair Service

DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - July 21, 2009) - Avanquest Software, a leading global software developer and publisher, today announced a licensing agreement for its System Suite Essentials PC utilities program with Computer Centers USA, Inc., a national computer repair company specializing in remote PC repair for the small office/home office (SOHO) market.

Under the agreement, Avanquest will provide a customized version of its System Suite Essentials PC utilities program to be included in Computer Centers USA's "Magic Flash Drive," a turnkey PC tech support service available online and featured by leading home shopping TV networks, including Canada's The Shopping Channel.

The System Suite Essentials software, called "Magic Scan & Repair Pro" in its "Magic Flash Drive" version, includes PC Diagnostic, PC Maintenance and Internet Clean-Up tools to ensure that PC users receive the high-speed performance and system reliability businesses and consumers need today.

The "Magic Flash Drive" delivers unlimited live certified PC tech support services by Internet and telephone. When users insert the "Magic Flash Drive" in their PC's USB port, they will see a menu providing one-click access to state-of-the-art Optimization and Diagnostic routines that restore like-new speed and performance and solve problems proactively to maintain the stability of their computer.

The complete system tune-up includes registry and hard disk repair, Internet cleaning, removal of "Cookies," registry cleaning and disk de-fragmentation. A powerful Start-Up Commander routine speeds a PC's initialization process by modifying and removing unessential programs that slow down and may even harm the system.

"Avanquest's System Suite Essentials provides powerful one-click solutions to optimize or repair computers," said Peter Spezza, CEO of Computer Centers USA. "When users are done scanning with these proven hardware and software diagnostics, in the vast majority of cases their performance problem will have been solved."

If a user's tech problems are not sufficiently addressed by the PC Optimization and Diagnostic tools, "Magic Flash Drive" subscribers can instantly initiate live certified online or phone tech support with a single mouse click. Advanced trouble-shooting tools included in System Suite Essentials enable "Magic Flash Drive" technicians and experienced users to address almost any PC performance problem. The live support is free for an entire year.

"'Magic Flash Drive' is a great new way for businesses and consumers to maintain optimal system performance without taking their equipment off-site or scheduling a costly visit from a technician," said Brian Yarosh, Vice President, U.S. and Asian Operations, Avanquest OEM Division. "We are excited to be contributing a key component to this valuable new service."

The Magic Flash Drive, priced at $99.95 per year, is available directly from Computer Centers USA (www.magicflashdrive.com).
