Imgunnaretire.....Bingo!!!
Eagle1;
Thanks for your reply.
So if the float of the company is very small and investors come in to buy the stock it becomes volatile because of a supply and demand imbalance.
So we may be sitting on a powder keg...
Take care
imgunnaretire, Stocks with small floats can move very fast!!
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/float.asp
Float: The total number of shares publicly owned and available for trading. The float is calculated by subtracting restricted shares from outstanding shares.
Also known as "free float".
For example, a company may have 10 million outstanding shares, but only seven million are trading on the stock market. Therefore, this company's float would be seven million.
Stocks with small floats of less than three million shares tend to be a lot more volatile than others.

Reece, EXBX could trade on OTCBB at any day.
EXBX has a Market Maker that has filed a form 211 at the OTCBB to be quoted on the OTCBB.
EXBX will skip the pinksheets and go directly to the OTCBB. This is Great News!
* NASD OTC Compliance Unit at 240-386-5100 to confirm the Market Maker filing of 211 to go to OTCBB.
*Call the TA (Cottonwood Transfer) to confirm O/S of 10.9 million at 801-266-7151.

Nite Nite MOMO Playerzzz!!!
Eagle1,
Shakerzz...
EXBX closed at .20 cents. I wasn't expecting anything much today, but...when OTCBB comes, could be anyday...we move high due to the ton of money at the bid side under .20ish as this OTCBB move will force those to change their orders..imo.
Once MM's come on they will need an inventory, hence an increase in the bid, hence movement, hence increase in Ask, hence movement, hence MOMO players chasing!!
Just be sure you keep EXBX at the TIP TOP of your Radar. I do smell another SPEA run with EXBX....imo.
EXBX's software is revolutionary and not evolutionary and it is unmatched!!! I can't tell you how excited I am about this play. Their software has been VERIFIED and Validated by the National Institute of Standard and Technologies as well as OSR and Cosmos!
Be sure to start reading the PRS from November 2005 and DD the NIST and OSR and Cosmos and Homeland Security. http://www.exoboxtech.com/alliances.html
Today I called the TA for EXBX to monitor and check the status of the O/S to see if a change has occurred.
A/S is 500,000,000
O/S is still 10.9 million.
Confirmed that there are restricted shares within the O/S of 10.9 million but the lady at the TA could not disclose how many.
This is great news that there is also restricted shares in the 10.9 million O/S. This means that the float could be very very low. This should prove to be very explosive when the move to the OTCBB and put out some positive news and I anticipate positive news no later than a few months from here.
Note there will be some prefered shares to be converted to common, but I anticipate them to stay much in safe hands...imo.
Trading now at .15 to .50ish in grey. Again, they are going straight to the OTCBB and skipping the pinks (make no doubt about it, its confirmed).
*You can call the NASD OTC Compliance Unit at 240-386-5100 to confirm MM filing of 211 to go to OTCBB.
*You can call the TA (Cottonwood Transfer) to confirm O/S of 10.9 million at 801-266-7151
I'm very serious when I say this is going to be a very serious play unlike any that I have been involved in..IMO. Form 10 was filed in January and this company has all of their ducks in a row for a very serious run to many many dollars. No company dumping going on here.
It does impress me that EXBX is skipping the pinks and moving directly to the OTCBB. How many other companies do you know of that started on the grey and moves directly to the OTCBB?

Just called the TA: Confirmed O/S still at 10.9 million and there "ARE" Restricted shares within the O/S of 10.9 million.
This is not good news, this is GREAT News that we have restricted shares within the small O/S of 10.9 million!!
Question is how many restricted?
The TA could not disclose that information, but, this could prove to be a very explosive play once the MOVE to OTCBB occurs..IMO.
What is the float? Could be less than 5 million...boy wouldn't that be a hoot?

EXBX going to OTCBB and MM filed a Form 211 at OTCBB now.
Once on OTCBB is established other Market Makers can piggy back on the original form 211.
They (MM's) will need to create an inventory and IMO, they will have to increase the bid for people to sell.
Notice the volume in the last two days? No one is selling, but IMO, there is alot of money on the bid side trying to come in. Once on OTCBB a whole new world of investors will come in.
Anyone can call the NASD OTC Compliance Unit at 240-386-5100 to confirm MM filing of 211 to go to OTCBB.
They are moving from the grey to the OTCBB.

Exobox a Proven, effective technology that stops cyber threats
The proprietary software developed by Exobox Technologies is a “true” solution to threats posed by viruses, Trojans, worms and spyware that are prevalent on the Internet today.
Best of all, Exobox’s software solutions are proactive and 100-percent effective. Once the software is installed on a computer or server, no updates are necessary, and it doesn’t require CRC checking or viral database retroactive file scanning. It’s a truly transparent security system that allows computers and networks to function normally without system slowdowns.
Companies that have struggled with the time-consuming and laborious process of retraining entire staffs when new software is introduced will be glad to know that Exobox’s software doesn’t require any training. Just install the system and it does the rest, effectively building a protective barrier around computers and servers that has proven to be impenetrable by some of the world’s best hackers.
Extensive research and development over the past three years has resulted in Exobox filing eight patent applications and securing a trademark as part of its ongoing efforts to protect its intellectual property. An essential part of Exobox's product development strategy has been to seek comprehensive United States and international intellectual property protection for it's technology and all related and derivative products.
Exobox intends to continue protecting its intellectual property by filing patents covering new findings that may develop as a result of research and development, process improvements, and various administration routes, in order to protect and enhance the original patents. The Company will continue this effort to bolster and extend it's intellectual property position, including patents, copyrights and trademarks.
Exobox has retained Osha – Liang LLP, an internationally recognized intellectual property firm, to continue this protection and to prosecute any potential additional patents for its technology and all related and derivative products, stemming from the Company's ongoing Research and Development.
Our technology is unique, representing a proactive way to protect computers from cyberspace threats. Because of the exclusivity of our products, Exobox is seeking comprehensive United States and international patent protection of its technology, which precludes the Company from divulging significant technical specifications at this time.
However, the software has been evaluated and received the validation of several sources, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology and OSR Open Systems Resources, Inc., the world leader in low-level manipulation of the Windows operating system. In addition, Exobox is a client of the Houston Technology Center, a non-profit organization that helps develop technology centric businesses that have proven software or products.
http://www.exoboxtech.com/company.html
Exobox Technologies Corp. was founded in 2004 as a network security and licensing company that owns patent-protected software technology that stops cyberspace threats from infecting computer systems.
The Company was formed to address the growing need in the computer industry for a reliable, proactive approach to network security that prevents viruses, worms, Trojans, spy ware and identity theft without CRC checking and viral database-driven retroactive file scanning.

Eagle1,
EXBX: Well if the form 211 is now open at the OTCBB (confirmed) and the company is ready to move to the OTCBB and the prefered shares are to become available by end of October, then one might think that something could be forthcoming before so woulnd't you think?
According to this link from the company's website http://www.exobox.com/Company%20Profile.pdf they anticipate licensing of products in Summer of 2006.
This PDF file above was done in April 2006. The white papers was also done in April 2006...hmm.
If the company was not ready to go to market in Summer of 2006 then why would they put a PDF file from April 2006 stating that the company anticipates licensing in Summer 2006? Seems like they would know wouldn't you think so?
If they thought it would be later than Summer 2006 then you would think they would state so.
Just trying to make heads or tails here...any thoughts folks?
P.S. I am guilty of buying more today... :))

Computer Virus Timeline
How to Protect Yourself
1949
Theories for self-replicating programs are first developed.
1981
Apple Viruses 1, 2, and 3 are some of the first viruses “in the wild,” or in the public domain. Found on the Apple II operating system, the viruses spread through Texas A&M via pirated computer games.
1983
Fred Cohen, while working on his dissertation, formally defines a computer virus as “a computer program that can affect other computer programs by modifying them in such a way as to include a (possibly evolved) copy of itself.”
1986
Two programmers named Basit and Amjad replace the executable code in the boot sector of a floppy disk with their own code designed to infect each 360kb floppy accessed on any drive. Infected floppies had “© Brain” for a volume label.
1987
The Lehigh virus, one of the first file viruses, infects command.com files.
1988
One of the most common viruses, Jerusalem, is unleashed. Activated every Friday the 13th, the virus affects both .exe and .com files and deletes any programs run on that day.
MacMag and the Scores virus cause the first major Macintosh outbreaks.
1990
Symantec launches Norton AntiVirus, one of the first antivirus programs developed by a large company.
1991
Tequila is the first widespread polymorphic virus found in the wild. Polymorphic viruses make detection difficult for virus scanners by changing their appearance with each new infection.
1992
1300 viruses are in existence, an increase of 420% from
December of 1990.
The Dark Avenger Mutation Engine (DAME) is created. It is a toolkit that turns ordinary viruses into polymorphic viruses. The Virus Creation Laboratory (VCL) is also made available. It is the first actual virus creation kit.
1994
Good Times email hoax tears through the computer community. The hoax warns of a malicious virus that will erase an entire hard drive just by opening an email with the subject line “Good Times.” Though disproved, the hoax resurfaces every six to twelve months.
1995
Word Concept becomes one of the most prevalent viruses in the mid-1990s. It is spread through Microsoft Word documents.
1996
Baza, Laroux (a macro virus), and Staog viruses are the first to infect Windows95 files, Excel, and Linux respectively.
1998
Currently harmless and yet to be found in the wild, StrangeBrew is the first virus to infect Java files. The virus modifies CLASS files to contain a copy of itself within the middle of the file's code and to begin execution from the virus section.
The Chernobyl virus spreads quickly via .exe files. As the notoriety attached to its name would suggest, the virus is quite destructive, attacking not only files but also a certain chip within infected computers.
Two California teenagers infiltrate and take control of more than 500 military, government, and private sector computer systems.

The Melissa virus, W97M/Melissa, executes a macro in a document attached to an email, which forwards the document to 50 people in the user's Outlook address book. The virus also infects other Word documents and subsequently mails them out as attachments. Melissa spread faster than any previous virus, infecting an estimated 1 million PCs.
Bubble Boy is the first worm that does not depend on the recipient opening an attachment in order for infection to occur. As soon as the user opens the email, Bubble Boy sets to work.
Tristate is the first multi-program macro virus; it infects Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files.
2000
The Love Bug, also known as the ILOVEYOU virus, sends itself out via Outlook, much like Melissa. The virus comes as a VBS attachment and deletes files, including MP3, MP2, and .JPG. It also sends usernames and passwords to the virus's author.
W97M.Resume.A, a new variation of the Melissa virus, is determined to be in the wild. The “resume” virus acts much like Melissa, using a Word macro to infect Outlook and spread itself.
The “Stages” virus, disguised as a joke email about the stages of life, spreads across the Internet. Unlike most previous viruses, Stages is hidden in an attachment with a false “.txt” extension, making it easier to lure recipients into opening it. Until now, it has generally been safe to assume that text files are safe.
“Distributed denial-of-service” attacks by hackers knock Yahoo, eBay, Amazon, and other high profile web sites offline for several hours.

Shortly after the September 11th attacks, the Nimda virus infects hundreds of thousands of computers in the world. The virus is one of the most sophisticated to date with as many as five different methods of replicating and infecting systems. The “Anna Kournikova” virus, which mails itself to persons listed in the victim's Microsoft Outlook address book, worries analysts who believe the relatively harmless virus was written with a “tool kit” that would allow even the most inexperienced programmers to create viruses. Worms increase in prevalence with Sircam, CodeRed, and BadTrans creating the most problems. Sircam spreads personal documents over the Internet through email. CodeRed attacks vulnerable webpages, and was expected to eventually reroute its attack to the White House homepage. It infected approximately 359,000 hosts in the first twelve hours. BadTrans is designed to capture passwords and credit card information.
2002
Author of the Melissa virus, David L. Smith, is sentenced to 20 months in federal prison. The LFM-926 virus appears in early January, displaying the message “Loading.Flash.Movie” as it infects Shockwave Flash (.swf) files. Celebrity named viruses continue with the “Shakira,” “Britney Spears,” and “Jennifer Lopez” viruses emerging. The Klez worm, an example of the increasing trend of worms that spread through email, overwrites files (its payload fills files with zeroes), creates hidden copies of the originals, and attempts to disable common anti-virus products. The Bugbear worm also makes it first appearance in September. It is a complex worm with many methods of infecting systems.
2003
In January the relatively benign “Slammer” (Sapphire) worm becomes the fastest spreading worm to date, infecting 75,000 computers in approximately ten minutes, doubling its numbers every 8.5 seconds in its first minute of infection. The Sobig worm becomes the one of the first to join the spam community. Infected computer systems have the potential to become spam relay points and spamming techniques are used to mass-mail copies of the worm to potential victims.
2004
In January a computer worm, called MyDoom or Novarg, spreads through emails and file-sharing software faster than any previous virus or worm. MyDoom entices email recipients to open an attachment that allows hackers to access the hard drive of the infected computer. The intended goal is a “denial of service attack” on the SCO Group, a company that is suing various groups for using an open-source version of its Unix programming language. SCO offers a $250,000 reward to anyone giving information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the people who wrote the worm.
An estimated one million computers running Windows are affected by the fast-spreading Sasser computer worm in May. Victims include businesses, such as British Airways, banks, and government offices, including Britain's Coast Guard. The worm does not cause irreparable harm to computers or data, but it does slow computers and cause some to quit or reboot without explanation. The Sasser worm is different than other viruses in that users do not have to open a file attachment to be affected by it. Instead, the worm seeks out computers with a security flaw and then sabotages them. An 18-year-old German high school student confessed to creating the worm. He's suspected of releasing another version of the virus.
Yes, agreed, I say
We should hear from the company within few months or so and worst case is that the software will hit the market no later than April 2007.
Thanks again for you DD!! :)

FBI survey finds computer attacks up
this is old but good..information

WASHINGTON (AP) — Most large corporations and government agencies have been attacked by computer hackers, but they frequently do not inform authorities of the breaches, an FBI survey finds.
The survey released Sunday found about 90% of respondents detected computer security breaches in the past year but only 34% reported those attacks to authorities.
Many respondents cited the fear of bad publicity about computer security.
"There is much more illegal and unauthorized activity going on in cyberspace than corporations admit to their clients, stockholders and business partners or report to law enforcement," said Patrice Rapalus, director of the Computer Security Institute, which conducted the survey with the FBI's San Francisco computer crime squad.
The seventh annual survey polled 503 American corporations, government agencies, financial and medical institutions and universities. The names of the organizations polled were not released.
Overall, there were more computer crimes than in last year's survey. But fewer victims reported crimes to police than in 2001, reversing a trend from earlier surveys.
A former Justice Department computer crimes prosecutor said there is frequently little incentive for a company to report computer attacks or crimes.
"It tends not to help their bottom line, but hurt their bottom line," Mark Rasch said. "What a company wants to do is solve the problem and move on."
When those companies are financial institutions or other parts of the nation's critical technology infrastructure, however, more than the company's bottom line is at stake.
The government is using partnership groups — such as the FBI's InfraGard chapters in each field office — to persuade companies to report the attacks directly to FBI agents without public disclosure.
"They need to use a mechanism to report these incidents and vulnerabilities broadly so they can be fixed, but won't be attributable back to them," Rasch said.
The survey respondents said they lost at least $455 million as a result of computer crime, compared with $377 million the previous year. In both surveys, only about half chose to quantify their losses.
The most serious monetary losses came from the theft of money or proprietary information, such as blueprints for computer programs, and fraud, such as failure to deliver services or equipment that have been paid for.
Despite concerns that foreign governments would begin using computer attacks as a method of terrorism or war, most attacks on American companies still come from individual hackers and disgruntled employees, the report said.
The survey also addresses the increasing frequency of attacks on Internet retailers. There have been several reports of thefts of credit card data over the past year, including some instances in which the thief threatened to release sensitive data unless the victim paid a ransom.
WorldCom, The New York Times and others have had holes exposed in their Web security, leading to unwanted intruders.
Thirty-eight percent of the respondents said their Web sites have been broken into over the past year, and 21% said they were not sure. Eighteen percent reported some sort of theft of transaction information, such as credit card numbers or customer data, or financial fraud.
Seventy percent of organizations reported online graffiti, usually the simplest and least damaging type of attack. A graffiti hacker replaces the Web site's front page with his or her own text and, sometimes, offensive pictures.
Companies are also seeing problems from within. Seventy-eight percent said their employees abused Internet privileges, including downloading pornography or pirated software.
Thanks for your help imgunnaretire,
While I do see what you are saying I also see this from the white papers.
Eagle1,
Exobox’s unique approach to network security provides an unrivaled level of security, coupled with the addition of significant, revolutionary features that other network security products fail to provide.
These multiple features and benefits described in the White Paper should make SUEZ Technology the foremost network/data protection solution on the market.
The Enterprise Solution currently being developed for anticipated licensing in 2006 represents the first in a line of SUEZ based products from Exobox.
