  BOCA RATON, FL, Apr 06 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Options Media Group Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: OPMG), a growing force in
mobile marketing and mobile social media, today announced the
availability of an audio interview featuring CEO Scott Frohman and
PhoneGuard founder Anthony Sasso in which they discuss the growing threat
from viruses and other malware for North American cell and smart phone
users. Also discussed, is the proposed license acquisition of the award
winning PhoneGuard antivirus and anti-malware by Options Media and the
potential growth opportunity that would result. The audio interview can
be accessed at www.joenoelstocks.com. 

    "Protection of the valuable data stored in our cell and smart phones is
becoming increasingly important, and we believe use of the PhoneGuard
product, provided by NetQin, is the best way to protect this important
asset," commented Scott Frohman, CEO of Options Media. "While North
American mobile phone users are just now beginning to realize these
risks, users in Asia and Europe have already installed millions of copies
of this anti-virus software. The North American market is expected by
most industry watchers to soon experience the same explosive market
growth. In our audio interview, we discussed the trends in this market
and our proposed license acquisition. We see exciting times ahead for
Options Media as our product portfolio continues to expand in order to
serve the growing needs of both the mobile social media market and the
mobile marketing/e-commerce communities."

    The letter of intent, which was announced on April 1st, outlines Options
Media's acquisition of the North American sublicense from NetQin Tech
Co., the incontestable industry leader in mobile security and provider of
services (including mobile anti-virus, anti-harassment, and privacy
protection) to more than 30 million subscribers in more than 200
countries and regions. Under the terms of the agreement, Options Media
will become the exclusive marketer within the United States and Canada of
the PhoneGuard software suite designed to safeguard cellular phones, PDAs
and smart phones from attacks by hackers and cyber criminals. 

    Additionally, Options Media and PhoneGuard have reached a verbal
agreement for Options Media to acquire a sublicense of PhoneGuard's U.S.

drivers from texting while driving. As of today, 21 states in the U.S.
