firewall W98?

[Kees]

Anyone know a good firewall for Windows 98?

I Googled for it and found this...

Zone Labs ZoneAlarm is still a good pick for a free firewall. The latest version that works with Win98 is 6.1.744.001 which can be found here - http://www.oldapps.com/old_version_download_ZoneAlarm.php.

Quoted from:

Guess you can download it from here:

Hope it helps.

P.S. you can also refer to this link:

Thanks for the response. It is actually the one I am using and I hoped there would be a newer one around of some vendor (in Asia W98 still seems to have a substantial market share), but that is probably idle hope. Security is anyway next to zero in W98, but still ...

another free fireewall for win98 is Filseclab Personal Firewall
