Cannot Download Sygate Firewall Update

Hi,
I've learned that Sygate Firewall Personal SE has a new version. Each time I turn on my PC I get the message about the new version and do I want to update now. When I go on the upgrade/download page, I am directed to another page because I'm running Windows 98. Unfortunately, that page never finishes loading. I have hit the refresh button, tried it from other sites etc. and it's always the same problem.

It shows "loading ad-server" at the bottom. All that appears is an ad for another Sygate product. In addition, I cannot access the Sygate Forum for help but get this message:

There seems to have been a slight problem with the database.

Anyone else having this problem? I know how important it is to have an up-to-date firewall. Thanks!

P.S. What a pain that they recommend uninstalling the current version. Have to re-configure all over again
