     While looking today at Symantec's home page (www.symantec.com), I
     discovered a new product that they have for Windows 95 internet users.
      While I have not seen this product, (and therefore don't know if it
     in fact lives up to its hype), it does sound like an interesting idea.
      As a result, I am forwarding on a copy of the material that was on
     their home page.
