    Firewall That Works With 98\ME

    Are there any recommended firewalls, preferrably free, that work with Windows 98 / ME?

    Thanks,
    Jody Wood

    Hi Jody,
    I have been using Zone Alarm Free version on my W98SE for many years, with no problems. As for the ME aspect I don't know, but have not seen any complaints from ME users about ZoneAlarm.

    Well the ZoneAlarm Free states that it requires Win NT/2K/XP/2003. Are you saying that you still use it under W98SE without any problems?

    Yes that is what I'm saying. I've had ZA on my W98SE for over 4 years.
    I think they (ZA) dropped the 98 support when MS did, but it's been working quite well with my desktop. I use ZA version 6.1.744.001

    You can get older versions of ZA over at Old Version dot com . I suggest you try version 3.7 Worked very well for my needs...

    The latest free ZoneAlarm my old 98SE runs well on is 4.5.594.000. It's still available from Zone Labs at http://download.zonelabs.com/bin/fre...seHistory.html The actual download link is http://download.zonelabs.com/bin/fre...45_594_000.exe
    I still read here and there that this last 4.5 build was the best version Zone Labs ever released. And I tend to agree...
