   It is not listed as being Windows 95 compatible and it has been   
   problematic for at least some of the Windows 95 users who have tried   
   it.   
      
   Avast is a another free antivirus that is Windows 95 compatible   
   (www.avast.com) but it does have a pretty heavy impact on the   
   performance of a computer, although on a 300 mhz PII it might be okay   
   if you have at least 64 mb of RAM.   
      
   Good luck
