I just wanted a little something extra before I got it on line to scan at Kaspersky's.

Appreciate the help all,

But how many of those known vulnerabilities in older ZA versions are inbound vulnerabilities that actually allow some form of malicious traffic to breach the firewall from outside?
If you really want to know check out some of the security sites; e.g., Secunia Advisories by Product.

The essence of my reply was the recommendation of using a modem or router with a good SPI Firewall for the first line of defense for inbound protection, rather than just relying on a software firewall.

The "There are some known vulnerabilities with older versions of ZA firewalls." was separate "FYI" comment in case OP was not aware and may want to investigate further.

...Most of the vulnerabilities I know of have to do with the outbound protection side, which should be much less important, since if you let malicious code run on your system you cannot be sure any software will contain it.
True, hence is exactly why I noted "... monitoring/restricting outbound traffic." and not outbound protection. ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20219459 Mon, 24 Mar 2008 20:59:44 EDT Re: [Need] Old version of Zonealarm http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20219152 foxsteve : I think Zone Alarm Pro v2.6.362 is the best.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20219152 Mon, 24 Mar 2008 20:09:52 EDT Re: [Need] Old version of Zonealarm http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20217608 anon :

You can also download versions as far back as 4.5 direct from ZoneAlarm themselves ...
And if needed you can download User Guides (versions 4.5 - 7.0) from ZA here.

Are using some type of broadband service, with an DSL or Cable modem that has its own SPI firewall, or an non-firewall modem with an NAT/SPI router?

If not, would highly recommend using either modem with SPI firewall or modem with NAT/SPI router as your first line of inbound protection, using a software firewall mainly for monitoring/restricting outbound traffic.

No idea what will happen so good luck.

I want to download some stuff and scan it for malware but I'd like to have software firewall up & running before connecting to the internet so I was hoping someone could tell me what old version of ZA will run on Win98. It's been so long since I've messed with Win98 or ZA I can't remember.
