Anyone know any free firewalls that run on Win98? Just found out my gf has no security on her PC whatsoever ffs, so i've installed AVG, was gonna install ZoneAlarm but they stopped supporting Win98 with the newest release (6.5), so unless anyone knows where to get ZoneAlarm 6.0 then I could do with a different one...

no i haven't, not that it matters now anyway because whilst the AV scan was running it found 15viruses and then crashed, then the whole system crashed, now it won't boot windows at all other than in safe mode ffs

lol, i'm not seeing her for the rest of the weekend, but a re-install might be in order at some point - the thing that annoys me is that her brother claims to know a bit about PCs and so set it up for her, it's a decent enough spec to run XP fine, yet he installed 98 and then set her up on the net with no security at all ffs
