Firewall for 98SE?

[Another Jake]

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

I use Kerio 2.1.5 on both (and XP).

Thanks, Shane --

It looks like I can still download the executable from Kerio's
archives (instead of carrying my copy over on CD).
If she still likes it a couple months from now, I may install it on
her XP laptop, too.

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.

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.

You're welcome, and yes, long may it be available at - as I'm sure you also
have it - http://download.kerio.com/dwn/kpf/kerio-pf-2.1.5-en-win.exe. About
every 6 months I download it again to check that it still does. And I see it
still does!

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.
