Friend,
This item from 11 07 95 Edupage may be of interest to you:
VIRUS-BLOCKER
McAfee Associates has a new product called WebScan that
identifies virus-tainted programs before they're downloaded
and warns the user not to continue. Security experts say
WebScan is the first product that prevents viruses from in-
fecting a computer to begin with, rather than attacking the
problem after it's already occurred. (Wall Street Journal

Cordially,
Jim
