OJ....go to the above link for older programs. I often put this link
out on this group for the very reason that it has copies of older
programs. And yes, when I use Zone Alarm, I use an older version even
on XP. NEW is not always BEST!!

Like Zone Alarm and CCleaner had versions that were as best as they
could get (IMO) for Win ME

Anti-virii progs can be so overrated.. I mean.. I don't even remember the
last time a virus was detected on my winme pc. As long as we do the
common-sense things (avoid clicking on links and attachments in unsolicted
mail, and check for hidden file extensions), the risks are fairly low.

By the time winme and win98 have no further anti-virii programs available,
we would all be using Linux anyway, right?
