Hi all,
Due to my laptop going on the blink I have had to dig out my old Windows 98 850Hrz machine for internet usage.
Now I installed the Sygate firewall that seemed to be working fine until I noticed that when I pressed Ctrl Alt Del it stated that Sygate was 'not responding' so I don't have a lot of trust in that plus it kept popping up with 'Win32 wants to connect to the internet' every few mins even when I clicked 'don't show this box again'
So I have now installed Zonealarm and that is way too resource heavy for this machine. It slows everything down and sometimes the pc hangs when shutting down. So thats no good.
I have tried to install Kerio but that wanted XP to be installed.
So I need a resource lite firewall that will run quietly in the background.
Anybody got any recommendations??? Oh yeah, it's got to be free as I am only using this pc on a temporary basis.
Thanks
