Gary S. Terhune, your security website article fails to load
I was just looking over your website and the security article fails to load.
Did you temporarily remove it? http://www.grystmill.com/articles/security.htm Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer give me the message that this page cannot be found. |

I took it down for updating (some apps I recommended are no longer
appropriate.) I just keep forgetting where I put my round tuit. I'll take a look at it now and see just how much editing it really needs. -- Gary S.

Have we had a good discussion of what anti-virus and other anti-malware
products still work on Win9x systems, lately? I know Avast! works well, and perhaps an earlier version of AVG (but what about Updates?) Then there's David's Multi-AV, and F-Prot for DOS... Any others? -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User http://grystmill.com "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote in message ... Ditto.

Might as well include firewalls in the discussion. So far I have Sygate, ZA,
Tiny (the old version), Kerio (old version)... Anything else? -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User http://grystmill.com "Gary S. Terhune" none wrote in message ...

I think I found your round tuit but I just didn't have any energy so I cast
it aside and had a nice visit with my recliner :-) Can't help on the W98 apps Gary, too out of touch with the 98 scene. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2008 "Gary S.

Apparently, AVG is still supporting version 7.5 of its anti-virus program
which works well. Avast works well as well but in my opinion is almost too concerned about security which can be good and bad. It can help keep users safer but also raise false alarms like the one about Yahoo.com being infected, a false positive about a file on my dad's computer, prevent certain Microsoft tools like the client that Microsoft provided me from working to Please steer clear of AVG version 8 for any computer because at least the free version has known issues and will of course not run on 98. In regards, to firewalls you want a multi-layered safety and security approach to keeping 98 Second Edition safe on the Internet these days. I would suggest a router that has built in firewall capabilities and please don't use the default settings and change the authentication password to a complex password. Microsoft has a tool to help users make strong passwords. It is located at http://www.microsoft.com/protect/you...d/checker.mspx In addition, a wired connection is always more secure than a wireless connection. Remember, that Microsoft will no longer provide security updates for Windows 98 Second Edition so users must use other software to make 98 and 98 SE more secure on the Internet. I like Mozilla Firefox and version 2.0.x is still supported with 98. Eventually, Mozilla will retire version 2 of Firefox and version 3 of Firefox does not support Windows 98. Opera has its fans but I do not care much for it and its user base is too small currently to have too many hackers working on breaking into the Opera web browser. The Opera web browser is an alternative especially if Mozilla discontinues support of Mozilla Firefox 2.0.x and in doing so no longer provides support for Windows 98. As far as software firewalls are concerned I do not have a good suggestion of which one is best with Windows 98 and/or 98SE Edition. I like the XP Professional firewall but there you do have to watch if you allow any exceptions. I am giving Windows Live Care a trial period on the XP Professional side of my machine to see how I like it. "Ingeborg" wrote: Gary S.

Why are you living in the living room, and not the computer room, at such an
