SURFWATCH DEMONSTRATES INTERNET BLOCKING SOFTWARE TO KEY MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS

Software helps Parents and Educators take responsibility for what children
see on the Internet

Washington, July 17, 1995 -- At a demonstration here before key members of
Congress, SurfWatch Software, Inc. today announced relationships with
America Online and Ventana Communications Group and the availability of
SurfWatch 1.0 for Windows, the first Internet software product for
blocking unwanted sexually explicit material.

"Twenty-five years ago when I wrote the original software which allowed
access to the Internet, we had no idea what kind of information would be
available." said Bill Duvall, CEO of SurfWatch Software, Inc. "As Congress
continues to debate the key issues of protecting our children while
maintaining the rights of adults, we believe that SurfWatch can provide a
true technological alternative to Internet censorship."

SurfWatch Software creates Internet software products for both Windows and
Macintosh platforms and licenses Internet access control technology to the
online services industry. SurfWatch is a powerful tool for a wide audience
of Internet users, including parents, educators, and employers who wish to
reduce the risk of children and others accidentally or deliberately
accessing sexually explicit material.

"America Online wants to empower parents with the appropriate tools to
restrict access to various parts of AOL and the Internet for their
children," said Ted Leonsis, President, America Online Services Company.
"Today we are announcing plans to use tools from SurfWatch to expand our
Internet parental control capability."

"Ventana has a reputation for exceptional Internet-based software products;
we are looking forward to playing a primary role in the distribution of
SurfWatch, the most popular Internet parental control software," said
Josef Woodman, president of Ventana Communications Group. "Along with our
best-selling products from America Online and NetScape, we expect very
strong demand for SurfWatch in retail stores."

Because new sites appear on the Internet daily, SurfWatch Software also
offers the SurfWatch Subscription Service which provides updates to the
database of blocked sites. SurfWatch supports all of the popular browsers
and major Internet applications for both Windows and Macintosh.

SurfWatch Software, Inc. based in Los Altos, CA, is pioneering the
