Looking for Security Software for Win ME

Sorry, I don't understand the question.

OK. According to
http://www.zonelabs.com/store/conten...n98MEusers.jsp
"Pre-6.5 products will continue to run on the Windows 98/98SE/Me
operating
system."
So the Readme file for Zone Labs security software 6.1.744.001 March 16,
2006
is not correct.

I repeat.

The last version ME compatible was 6.1.744.001 available at

Although it does not say on this page, my statement is correct. Go to
the
home page, forums and search "Windows ME". among the posts you will
find
confirmation that this version is the last ME version.

V6.5 and higher require XP. I know this because when I tried to update
to
V6.5, a window opened stating XP was required.

I'm using Computer Associates Internet Security Suite, which quite often
Tiger has either as near free after rebate or thrown in with some hardware
as free, on a WME machine.
It seems to have everything, that is antivirus, firewall, anti-spam, & pest
patrol.
The firewall is ZoneAlarm, regarded as near best.
All of it is quite configurable where as the free versions such as ZoneAlarm
free and AVGfree are very limited.
In addition I do run Spybot allowing it to block bad web pages.
And I do have AdAware. But since running the CA suite, I seldom have
anything found with either of those, ie, spybot & adaware, but I have
customized settings in the firewall that kills cookies and some other stuff
from sites I don't want to be bothered by.
Do check to see which version Tiger may have at present. BTW, it also comes
with K9 web protection program, but it only works on above W9x, so I've
never used it.

The antispam works with outlook and outlook express. Possibly others. It
creates a separate folder for spam and filters according to your choice. It
lets you know if new messages have been taken to that folder where they are
still readable or you can choose to allow them to inbox. Anything that might
slip by into the inbox can be blocked with one click. It learns as you use
it. I very seldom have to block or retrieve messages anymore, even though it
has some custom scanning and learning, I've never used them.
PestPatrol scans critical areas for bugs, trojans, etc. Can be customized to
scan anywhere.
The ZA firewall (says eTrust, but compare interface and files and you'll see
it is ZA) is very customizable. Much of it is auto-configurable, but you can
change the settings. Easy to setup with internet and local network as well.
Has program control, that is allows and filters programs that need
internet/network access as well as component control. That way a trojan file
can not hijack a good program to do its dirty business. Includes some email
protections, such as looking for bad attachments, but the antispam portion
gets the rest of it.
Privacy settings put an end to bothersome internet trackers, cookies, etc.
ID Lock using very high encryption allows storing important data,
(passwords, ID's, card numbers, etc) This list of data is then checked
against all outbound traffic and blocks the transmission until you give it
permission. That way if you've done something online say using a credit card
number and it somehow got stored on disk, this stops it. And the ability to
totally lock connections when computer is not in use.

Hi there,

My 6-year-old Win ME computer was happily running some ISP supplied AV
and
firewall software until the ISP upgraded it to a newer version which is
no
longer supported on an ME system. They no longer issue or support the
"old"
version as it was with a different company.

So, I'm hunting around for the basic stuff to put on my ME system, i.e.
Antivirus
Firewall
Antispyware
Antiphishing
etc.

Here's a list of my uses:

Antivirus: Avast
Firewall: Sygate
AntiSpywa Spybot S&D, SpywareBlaster
AntiPhishing(?): Ad-Aware SE Personal

They seem to serve me well all around.
Let us know if you have trouble finding them.

Harry.


Just because these will be used on an older computer I would prefer to
use
free stuff. I have hunted around on the internet, but it seems that Win
ME
supported software is getting harder to find.

Suggestions and recommendations would be much appreciated. The system
is
a
433 MHz Celeron with 192 MB RAM. So don't want to install applications
that
will use much RAM.

Thanks in advance!

By the way, I need to get rid of fragments from previously installed
apps,
what would be a good program to use?
