Yahoo! and Acresso Announce Multi-Year Yahoo! Toolbar and InstallShield Distribution Agreement

Software Producers Enabled to Rapidly Establish Additional Revenue
Opportunities
SUNNYVALE, Calif. & CHICAGO--(Business Wire)--
Yahoo! Inc (Nasdaq:YHOO) and Acresso Software, formerly a division
of Macrovision, today announced a multi-year global agreement to offer
the Yahoo! Toolbar to over 71,000 organizations using Acresso's
InstallShield(R) technology. The partnership makes it easy for
software producers to optionally bundle the Yahoo! Toolbar into a
software installation as a value-add.

InstallShield, deployed on more than 500 million PCs worldwide, is
used by software producers of all sizes and allows them to author
high-quality installations for the PC. With this new offering, Acresso
Software formally announces a value-added services strategy to extend
the benefits of InstallShield. As software companies face slower
growth, the strategy focuses on options for them to generate
additional revenue and provide new capabilities for their customers.

Yahoo! Toolbar, which was the Web's first downloadable toolbar and
is currently available in more than 24 markets, helps users simplify
their web routines on and off Yahoo!.

"InstallShield is the de facto standard for authoring installs -
from the top 100 software producers in the world to the individual
developer. By simplifying the addition of Yahoo! Toolbar into their
installs, software producers of any size can bring Yahoo!'s powerful
search functionality to their end-users while opening up brand new
revenue opportunities," said Mark Bishof, CEO, Acresso Software.

"Our goal is to offer users access to the most comprehensive and
relevant content on the Web. With InstallShield being deployed on more
than 500 million PCs worldwide, this partnership gives us the ability
to extend our reach with Yahoo! Toolbar and become the starting point
for InstallShield's global community," said Vish Makhijani, General
Manager and Senior Vice President, Yahoo! Search.
