ZONE ALARM PRO 4.5 SOFTWARE
First, this is by no means a comprehensive list of security software that works on Windows 98 and ME.
ZONE ALARM PRO 4.5 INSTALL
After installing all of the updates and rebooting for the nth time, I was itching to install some security tools.īefore I go any further, I should note a few things.
For whatever reason, the third time I visited WU did the trick with no crashes, and I was able to download two dozen critical security updates.
ZONE ALARM PRO 4.5 UPDATE
Then I ran a Google search for "IE 6 and inurl:" and was able to download IE 6.0 with Service Pack 1 directly from Microsoft's site (not from Windows Update).Īfter installing IE 6 and rebooting, I visited Windows Update and - GAH! - the browser crashed again. I then restored the virtual machine to its original state (a fresh install), and opened up IE again, this time halting the auto-redirect. The fresh installation of Windows 98SE came with Internet Explorer 5.0, a woefully outdated and insecure version of the browser that initially gave me some serious problems trying to download patches from Microsoft's Web site.Īs soon as I opened up IE, the browser automagically redirected to Windows Update, after which IE promptly crashed. Given what I heard from a number of users who said they planned to keep using those systems indefinitely, I promised to circle back with a look at which security tools still play nice with them.įor this project, I installed Windows 98 Second Edition on a " virtual machine" using VMWare Server, which allows you to run multiple operating systems within a host OS. ZA Pro has really grown since its release and is a very good software firewall, I would say that taking into consideration cost, performance, ease of use and reliability it is the best siftware firewall in my opinion.Last week, I blogged about Microsoft's plans this month to end support and security patches for Windows 98 and Windows ME. I used to have to open some to play Anarchy Online but I dont anymore, same with Everquest.Īs for any apps that just refuse to work with ZA Pro, I have not found one yet in the several years I have been using it. The thing about openings ports is true for only the older versions of ZA Pro. "It will ask you if an app can contact the local network and/or Internet" - If you don't want to be asked this everytime, simply check the "Do Not Ask Me This Everytime" box when it pops up and the answer you give, it will use everytime without asking you. It all depends on how aggressively you set your Privacy features. Well, I have ZA Pro version 4.5.594.000(most recent one) and I have had no problems loading animated gifs, and I browse over a dozen sites every day that require the use of cookies and have no problems with them. Sites that deals with cookies may not work correctly Some apps will not work with ZoneAlarm at all You might have to "open" a port for some apps to work correctly It will ask you if an app can contact the local network and/or Internet You can block all traffic from coming in and going out with one click of the mouse With the Web Filtering, you can secure passwords and it will warn you about sending passwords across a clear-text line With the Pro edition, you can find out where in the world the IP address comes from You can password protect the console screen It will log everything that goes to and from your computer It will ask you if an app can contact the local network and/or Internet. My boss ask me for a list of Pros and Cons for ZoneAlarm (all versions).
