Please can you recommend a free firewall for Windows ME now that Zone Alarm has stopped updating? ;D

Microsoft recommends these: :o

BUT, I want one that isn't a short-term free trial. :-/

Thank you. :)

You can check out a large list of free firewalls here:

You will need to look into the ones you may want to see if they are capatible w/ Win '98.

I'd also recommend Sygate.  ZoneAlarm is good, but it is just too bloated IMO.  Sygate does what it's supposed to and nothing else.

My thoughts exactly SA, Zone Alarm has just gone over the top with frills.
