Firewall for 98SE?
I am cleaning up an old computer and want to install her first firewall.
Have done the routine maintenance and removed malware+viruses. If it were WinMe, I would install Kerio V2.15. Can I install Kerio on 98SE? or install something different? She needs something relatively easy to use. If relevant, she has wireless high speed cable connected to a hub, but uses her computers (98SE desktop, WinXP laptop) infrequently ... for e-mails and income tax software, etc. Little browsing of Internet. (I have no information about the hub. Maybe late today.) Thanks -- AJ |

If she still likes it a couple months from now, I may install it on her XP laptop, too. -- AJ |

Shane: To my understanding Kerio isn't free anymore, is that correct? If that were so, there is always ZoneAlarm, right? Just a thought. Harry. "Shane" wrote in message ...

ZA is a bloated POS, headed the same way as Norton

Harry,
I have to say I tend towards Noel's view re ZA. I stopped using it years ago when it first began causing problems in Win ME. However, that aside, Kerio 2.1.5 is the old version that, Noel, Silj and I use, is free and will always be so. More to the point it is, as software firewalls go, damn good, straight-forward and simple. Shane "webster72n" wrote in message ...

About every 6 months I download it again to check that it still does. And I see it still does! Shane |

That is good to know, Shane, just in case. I am using Sygate and it does the job for me. Thank you and Noel. Harry. "Shane" wrote in message ... Harry, I have to say I tend towards Noel's view re ZA.
