Press Release Summary: TeamViewer remote support tool now available for Mac OS X

Press Release Body: Uhingen, Germany, May 29, 2008 - TeamViewer GmbH, a leading
provider of solutions for online communication and collaboration, today released the
live version of its TeamViewer remote maintenance program for Mac. This compact
utility, designed to enable remote access of computers via Internet and across
firewalls, is compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 and later versions.

TeamViewer features cross-platform support, allowing Mac and Windows users to work
together and control computers using either operating system; Mac users are able to
take over either Mac or Windows computers, and vice versa. The software is available
free of charge for non-commercial use, with a range of licenses starting at 249 USD
for business employment.

In addition to remote control, the software now includes several additional
features. With TeamViewer, file transfer between computers is easy, permitting
straightforward, effortless information sharing. The client module of the Windows
version is also available now. This small executable program does not require any
installation; it simply runs on the computer to be controlled remotely. Fast ad-hoc
support and troubleshooting are ideal applications of this function.

All functions of TeamViewer software are uniquely created to ensure a user-friendly
experience. Launching TeamViewer generates a unique ID code which is then
communicated to the user partner by a telephone or e-mail invitation. Entering the
ID code establishes an immediate connection to the corresponding computer. With this
connection, the computer can conveniently be controlled remotely. Reversing the
control direction is possible at any time, allowing both parties to see and remotely
control each other's desktops - an ideal application for presentations and teamwork.


To ensure the highest possible security, all TeamViewer data traffic is encrypted
using private/public key exchange and AES 256-bit session encoding. This process
prevents any computer in the communication path from eavesdropping on data traffic
or decrypting the data in transfer.

"The beta version for Mac, which we released a few weeks ago, is already very well
received by several thousand users," reveals Dr. Tilo Rossmanith, Founder and
Director of TeamViewer GmbH. "People particularly appreciate the Windows and Mac OS
compatibility, as users act efficiently, independent of the Windows or Mac OS
involved. This is especially practical when an administrator must maintain a large
number of computers on both systems. Regardless of whether the supported user is
still running Windows 98 or has the latest Apple operating system, TeamViewer works
properly every time."
