Re: free antivirus and firewall for Windows ME
I think there are still a couple of antivirus programs out there that will still work with Windows Me. Someone else should be around with more information on that. I use Avira, which is excellent, but it no longer supports 98/Me. For a firewall, I can overwhelmingly recommend Sygate Personal Firewall. Even though it was bought out by Symantec a few years ago and has been discontinued, it's still an excellent firewall.
I recently tested myself again at Shield's Up and pcflank and I'm completely stealthed with just a few extra settings that I've learned along the way. All Sygate versions: http://www.savefile.com/projects/1045215 Last update for versions 5x: http://www.savefile.com/files/267654 Nice Sygate help site: http://www.kotiposti.net/string/SPF_eng/SPFGuide.html If you decide to try Sygate, you will want the Version 5 for Windows Me. V 5.5.2710 (I'm still using it on XP just fine) plus the last definition update for Ver 5.
