and publisher of advanced software utilities, and Aladdin Systems,
Inc., (OTC BB: ALHI), the Leader in Access Management™, today
announced the formation of a strategic alliance, which will include

when Aladdin purchased V Communications' access management software
trio: Zip Magic™, Easy Uninstall™ and Internet Cleanup™,
