Zone Alarm Free and win98

morris · 09-01-2006, 08:06 AM

As many of you already know the
latest free version of Zone Alarm
6.5.731.000 no longer supports win 98 or win ME.

I have two older computers still running win 98.

I'm hoping someone can recommend
a good FREE firewall that will support win98 & ME.
I'm using an old version of Sygate for now.

Someone in another forum suggested "Outpost"

I'm going to give it a try.

Thanks Volt-Schwibe for the reply.
All of my computers are behind a router
so there pretty safe anyway.
Just want to be sure.

I would go with Comodo Personal Firewall (FREE)

Thanks for the reply SpySentinel but,
"Note - Not compatible with Windows 9x systems".
Thanks anyway I might try it on one of my XP computers.
