Windows Forum / Windows Me / General Topics / February 2006Firewall 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.)

I use Kerio 2.1.5 on both (and XP).

If she still likes it a couple months from now, I may install it on her XP laptop, too. -- AJ >> >I am cleaning up an old computer and want to install her first > firewall.

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! Shane >>> >I am cleaning up an old computer and want to install her first >> firewall.

Don't forget the manual :-) http://download.kerio.com/archive/ 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, 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 > Shane: > To my understanding Kerio isn't free anymore, is that correct?
