QUARTERDECK ENHANCES INTERNETSUITE 2 WITH THE ADDITION OF NORTON ANTI-VIRUS
AND THE MCKINNLEY GROUP'S MAGELLAN INTERNET DIRECTORY

Norton AntiVirus Will Offer Protection from Infected Files Downloaded From
the Internet

MARINA DEL REY, CALIF., JANUARY 31, 1996 --- QUARTERDECK CORP. (NASDAQ:
QDEK) HAS FURTHER ENHANCED INTERNETSUITE 2, THE NEXT RELEASE OF ITS SUITE
OF INTERNET FRONT-END APPLICATIONS, WITH THE ADDITION OF THE MCKINNLEY
GROUP'S MAGELLAN INTERNET DIRECTORY, A COLLECTION OF 5, 000 WEB SITES, AND
SYMANTEC CORP.'S NORTON ANTI VIRUS FOR WINDOWS. THESE TWO PRODUCTS WILL BE
ADDED TO A CD ROM VERSION OF INTERNETSUITE 2, BUT THE ESTIMATED STREET
PRICE WILL REMAIN APPROXIMATELY $39.95.

Norton AntiVirus (NAV) can detect more than 6,500 different file and boot
sector viruses that infect Windows 3.x and DOS. Symantec regularly updates
it with new virus information available from an FTP server and its home
page. Magellan Internet Directory is a collection of Web sites rated
according to value and content, and the collection is subdivided into
different categories, including business, sports, entertainment, law, and
children's sites.

"Both of these products will give users added value without added cost.
Magellan adds thousands of useful resources for home users, and Norton
Anti Virus will give users the security they need when downloading
software from the Net. We're offering these two products at no extra
charge because they offer an important value to the people who buy
InternetSuite," said Suzanne Dickson, director of Internet client products
at Quarterdeck.

Initially, NAV will be included as a separate application in the
InternetSuite 2 package. For future releases, InternetSuite 2 will come
with NAV integrated into the suite.

"Symantec is delighted that Quarterdeck has selected Symantec's Norton Anti
Virus technology to help protect Quarterdeck's customers from
virus-infected files downloaded from the Internet. This bundle brings
together two great technologies that result in a safer computing
experience for customers," said Germaine Ward, General Manager of
Symantec's anti-virus business unit.
