Does anyone know if there is a free ZoneAlarm download for W98SE>

I tried to transfer my ZA EXE file to my daughters pc but a message said its not compatable with 98.

I believe Diane had the same problem and was recomended kerio firewall (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download738.html) but im not sure where she got in from

you can also try Sygate 5.6 (or 5.5) which is officially defunct, (search the web), but it still the best firewall, especially for 9x/ME.

Here (http://download.zonelabs.com/bin/free/information/znalm/zaReleaseHistory.html) is their release history. I know that 6.5.x doesn't support 98, but you could try 6.1.

I recommend trying either ZA v5.5 or ZA v6.0
You can get older versions of ZA or many other apps here...

George:
On July 11, 2006, Microsoft will end support for Windows 98, 98SE and Me, which will have the resulting effect of making these operating systems less secure (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/support/endofsupport.mspx). Windows 98/Me are older operating systems, and are therefore inherently more vulnerable to attacks than newer operating systems. Now that Microsoft will no longer provide security updates to these operating systems any PC running them will become increasingly prone to security vulnerabilities.

Accordingly, Zone Labs will cease to support Windows 98/98SE/Me with the introduction of our version 6.5 ZoneAlarm family of products including ZoneAlarmŽ Internet Security Suite, ZoneAlarmŽ Pro, ZoneAlarmŽ Antivirus, ZoneAlarmŽ Anti-Spyware, and ZoneAlarmŽ.
Older versions of ZA are available at http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=zalarm

I would recommend going higher than version 2.6, but would go for something in the 4.5 to 6.1 range.

What jtdoom said...very lightweight and works like a champ. ZA was fine a couple years ago but, IMO, got a bit chubby to run on machines with less than 128Mb memory.
