   Thanks. I think I saw people were using it when I did a Google Groups search.   
   I just checked their website and it doesn't look like Windows 95 is supported.   
   The top of their main page says:   
      
   AntiVir® PersonalEdition Classic   
   for Windows 98/Me and XP (XP&2000&NT)   
   Linux/OpenBSD/FreeBSD/Solaris   
      
   I don't see a FAQ or anything about system requirements.
