    looking for a good free firewall for windows 98. i tried filseclab, but windows hangs at shutdown when running it.

    i have gone back to an old version of zone alarm (5.5.094) for the time being. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Use Sygate or Comodo. They're both free. I'm just not sure about their compatibility with Win98. Can't you upgrade to XP? I think Microsoft already denied Win98 for support and updates already...

    Question is for a firewall for Win98 not XP, who's to say the user wishes to or can update their PC to XP, at this forum we tend to stick on topic, cheers.


    Comodo is XP and above only and doesnt sadly support the Windows 9x versions, Sygate is a good alternative sugestion tho http://www.majorgeeks.com/Sygate_Personal_Firewall_Free_d3356.html

    Check out www.oldversion.com for olde versions of ZA (and other programs). ;)
    I can't remember the version number that I last used on W98SE, but an email / phonecall, to ZoneLabs asking them of the latest you can use with W98 would probably get a reply. Bazza
