Kerio Personal Firewall 2.1.5 is still (as I write) available at :-
http://www.321download.com/LastFreew...keriopf215.zip

Always a good one and works fine on XP - if you feel you need it (Never
tried it beyond XP but don't see why it shouldn't work in Vista or 7)

Shane,

To be honest I actually meant to say Kerio but the name went right out of
head and I came up with Comodo instead.

I know we differ here but personally I wouldn't bother with a firewall
when running Win Me behind a NAT/SPI enabled router.

I checked the requirements for Comodo earlier, Mike, and it only
mentioned NT versions. Personally I'd use Kerio 2.1.5 still were I

According to Secunia there are one or two vulnerabilities in 2.1.5
that, of course, are never going to be addressed now, but my own
feeling is if you're online with a 9x version today, you need to
learn to type with fingers crossed anyway.

I supposed AAH meant 'complicated' rather than 'completed' and wonder
what *that* requirement is specifically. Of course one could still
get versions of ZoneAlarm that support 9x, too, e.g. on
oldversion.com, though I suspect they are more vulnerable than Kerio
2.1.5, today. I seem to recall you had the choice - not that I ever
used it - to install ZA in a 'novice' configuration. Otherwise both
require you to allow or deny access, and both in my experience had
glitches that required 'expert'-ise to fix, though Kerio, if the
config files had been backed up, was easiest to debuggerize. And I
still have my batch that backed the config up every boot.
I'll respond to your other replies on the morrow, Mike. I've been
rearranging partitions (to put W7 back - purely out of boredom!). I
have just finished resizing and now have 14 partitions on 2 disks and
as Rosie has just announced her return, I'm going to bed!
