Digital River Launches E-Commerce Operations for Anonymizer's Online Privacy Store Partnership To Help Expand Anonymizer's Customer Base and Online Presence

Minneapolis, MN October 16, 2003

Digital River, Inc. (NASDAQ: DRIV), a global leader in e-commerce outsourcing, today announced that it signed an agreement with Anonymizer®, a leading provider of anonymous Web surfing and online privacy protection services. Based on the agreement, Digital River built and now hosts Anonymizer's e-commerce site located at www.onlineprivacystore.com. To support site operations and the growth of Anonymizer's online business, Digital River is also providing order and transaction management, fraud prevention, 24x7 customer service support and access to joint promotional opportunities through its e-commerce network of nearly 34,000 clients.

"We have worked with thousands of companies, helping them launch their online businesses and carefully manage both sides of the e-commerce equation - operational efficiency and growth," said Joel Ronning, Digital River's CEO. "To have a successful online business, companies need to have a solid site that runs 24x7, providing both novice and savvy shoppers with a personalized, friendly and uncomplicated buying experience. To sustain that business, companies need a well-thought out plan for growth - one that attracts new prospects and gets loyal customers to spend more money more often. We are pleased to work with Anonymizer in managing both important aspects of its e-commerce environment."

Anonymizer's new online store is designed to support the sales of its line of privacy and security software products for desktop and mobile computing. The company's line of software titles includes Anonymizer Privacy Manager™, Anonymizer® Total Net Shield, Anonymizer® Anti-Spyware and Anonymizer® Digital Shredder. To provide consumers even broader anti-spam, anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall solutions, Anonymizer's online store also offers a line of complementary software products by other leading software publishers.

"Digital River has enabled vital elements of our e-business operation, which give us the ability to offer more added value and convenience to Anonymizer customers that shop in our online store," said Bill Unrue, chief executive officer of Anonymizer. "The Web services we deliver currently protect millions of users from privacy abuses, such as tracking and personal profiling, identity theft, hacker attacks, malicious code, spam, pop-up advertisements and more. Digital River is a critical partner in helping us carry out our mission to bring safety, security and privacy to Internet users. Without a privacy service such as ours, consumers are increasingly at risk while surfing online."
