GSInet Launches SecureIT
Fully Automated and Guaranteed Computer Protection

WEARE, NH — May 2, 2007 — GSInet, Internet service provider and affiliate of Granite State Telephone, announced today the recent launch of SecureIT Plus, the only easy-to-use, fully managed and fully automated desktop security solution. With SecureIT Plus customers can now surf the web knowing that they have the protection, tools and support they need to keep their PC free of Internet-delivered issues.

While other products address one or two Internet protection issues, SecureIT Plus is a single service that is made up of a suite of technologies that are fully managed and supported to protect your computer. The service includes fully managed virus and spyware protection, automated Microsoft Windows updates, an integrated pop-up blocker, parental controls, firewall protection, and ongoing hard drive maintenance and optimization for faster computer performance. SecureIT Plus is installed remotely by trained technicians, and once installed there is no required maintenance or monitoring on the part of the customer.

"We are pleased to be able to offer our customers a fully automated and guaranteed computer protection service," explains Chris Rand, Manager — GSInet. "If a customer experiences a computer problem due to an Internet-delivered issue while using SecureIT Plus, we will repair their computer at no charge. That is how confident we are that this is the best Internet security service on the market."

According to Consumer Reports 2005 State of the Net survey of online customers, home Internet users have a 1-in-3 chance of experiencing the negative effects of Internet-delivered issues such as spyware and viruses. The same report goes on to point out that Americans spent $2.6 billion on computer protection software over the last two years. During that same time period, $9 billion was spent on computer repairs in order to fix problems caused by viruses and spyware. The problem continues to grow because the majority of consumers rely on free downloads and software-in-a-box solutions. These products require users to install, maintain, and keep them up-to-date. SecureIT Plus does not require the customer to do any of this. Once installed, SecureIT Plus will keep the customer's computer protected automatically.
