ONTRACK ANNOUNCES SETTLEMENT OF S&S INTERNATIONAL LITIGATION

Ontrack remains committed to the fight against computer viruses

February 28, 1995 -- Minneapolis, MN -- Ontrack Computer Systems today
announced the settlement of its legal dispute with S&S International of
the United Kingdom. During 1994, Ontrack commenced legal action in the
U.S. District Court for the State of Minnesota against both S&S
International and Dr. Alan Solomon personally, charging them with wrongful
appropriation of trade secrets and other violations. Since 1991, Ontrack
has been the exclusive North American distributor of S&S's "Dr. Solomon's
Anti-Virus Toolkit."

The settlement, in which Ontrack received an undisclosed payment from S&S,
also allows Ontrack to continue supporting its existing North American
customers on the product until May, 1996 on a non-exclusive basis. Ontrack
has reaffirmed its commitment to the anti-virus market by entering into an
OEM agreement with McAfee Associates, and will begin worldwide site
license sales of Ontrack VirusScan and Ontrack NetShield immediately.
Current North American customers will be given the opportunity to convert
to the new product or continue to receive their Dr. Solomon's Anti-Virus
Toolkit updates through S&S.

Ontrack President John Pence commented, "Our greatest concern during the
lengthy litigation process was our existing customer base. We are pleased
now to be in a position to offer our worldwide customers the strongest
anti-virus product line in the industry. Coupled with Ontrack's
independent virus research and strong technical support, we are confident
that our North American customers will benefit from this product
transition. In addition, we are excited at the opportunity to deliver our
new anti-virus product line to our customer base around the world. "
