FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PASW, INC.
APPOINTS NEW CHAIRMAN

NEWBURY PARK, CA  October 16, 2000  PASW, Inc. (NASDAQ: PASW) today announced
that Glenn P. Russell, Chairman of the Board of PASW, Inc, is relinquishing his
position as Chairman and a Director of the company.

In submitting his resignation Mr. Russell stated: "Due to increasing involvement
in personal business activities I have found it difficult to balance the
interests of both the company and my other commitments therefore I believe that
the stockholders of PASW are better served with the efforts of an individual who
can devote full time to the activities of the company."

To fill the vacancies the Board of Directors has appointed William E. Sliney,
as Chairman and a Director. Sliney will continue as the company's President and
Chief Financial Officer.  Sliney joined Pacific Softworks in April of 1999.
Prior to that, he was the Chief Financial Officer of Legacy Software, Inc., from
1995 to 1999, and from 1993 to 1994, he was Chief Executive Officer for Gump's.

In making the transition Sliney stated: "Glenn Russell as a founder of the
Company has been instrumental in its evolution from a software development
company to an enabler of the development of emerging varied technology
companies. Glenn has provided excellent service and leadership during his tenure
as chairman and going forward he has agreed to become a consultant to the
company on an as-needed basis. The board and I wish him well in his new
ventures".
