Symantec Licenses AntiVirus Software to Netscape that Revolutionizes
Internet AntiVirus Protection

Norton AntiVirus Internet Scanner for Windows 3.x, Windows 95 and Windows
NT on Netscape Power Pack CD-ROM

CUPERTINO, CALIF. -- APRIL 11, 1996 -- Symantec Corporation (Nasdaq:SYMC),
a leading supplier of utilities software products, today announced the
licensing of its award-winning Norton AntiVirus software to Netscape
Communications Corporation as part of Netscape Power Pack 2.0 for Windows,
companion utilities and plug-ins for Netscape Navigator. Seamlessly
integrated into Netscape Navigator, Norton AntiVirus Internet Scanner
provides comprehensive virus protection by automatically checking for
viruses as the user saves files downloaded from the Internet.

Norton AntiVirus Internet Scanner provides effective detection and
elimination technology, catching most viruses before they can do any
damage to a user's files. This lets the user safely download programs,
documents and other files. NAV Internet Scanner detects over 7,300 viruses
and eliminates almost all, including the Word Macro viruses and also the
Boza Virus, which targets the Windows 95 operating system. The Netscape
Power Pack 2.0 for Windows, with the Norton AntiVirus Internet Scanner,
will be available this month and has an estimated retail price of $39.95.

"Cruising the information superhighway without virus protection is like
driving your car without insurance. You can do it, but why take the risk?"
said Mary Engstrom, general manager of Symantec's security business unit.
"This integration of Norton AntiVirus with the Netscape Navigator provides
you with that insurance, and represents an easy new way for Internet users
to protect while they connect."

Symantec's antivirus products are backed by an unsurpassed range of virus
information, update services and the industry's leading antivirus research
center. Users can access the Symantec AntiVirus Reference Center on
Symantec's web site to obtain up-to-date information on viruses and virus
