  BOSTON, MA, Oct 23 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
BioDefense Corporation (http://www.biod.com) is accelerating the launch
of MAIL DEFENDER IT, the complete mailroom security solution.

    On the morning of October 22, 2008, The Associated Press reported the
incident as follows, "The New York Police Department is investigating a
suspicious white powder sent to the offices of The New York Times.

    "The newspaper told employees that the substance was found Wednesday
morning when an employee opened a letter on the 13th floor of company
headquarters in midtown Manhattan. Police were called to the scene and are
investigating to determine if the substance is harmful."

    The Associated Press also said, "The discovery comes after more than 30
letters containing a suspicious powder were mailed to Chase bank branches
and federal banking regulators' offices in nine cities."

    Because every day corporations, financial institutions and government
facilities receive thousands of letters containing suspicious white
powder, BioDefense Corporation has accelerated the launch of MAIL
DEFENDER IT. The easy-to-use system is a safe, proven disinfection
technology that kills anthrax, smallpox and/or ricin -- all very
dangerous substances.

    MAIL DEFENDER IT is an innovative combination of electronic energy,
stainless steel and aluminum hardware, and advanced computer technology
that processes up to 200 pieces of mail in a 45-minute disinfection cycle.

    Apple Corporation's Mac-based technology allows system information to be
utilized in a variety of ways for total security of incoming mail.
Encryption, real-time monitoring and I-Phone communications allow mailroom
technicians to process suspect mail pieces to neutralize naturally
occurring or weapons grade biological agents or viruses. Business
interruptions due to hoaxes are eliminated.

    MAIL DEFENDER IT combines Microwave and infrared energy, intense
ultraviolet, and broadbeam light. A rotating barrel containing the
incoming mail ensures even distribution of the energies during the
decontamination process. A complex computer algorithm controls the energy
sources and automatic safety features deliver ideal, controllable
performance.
