Spyware, viruses, & security : Question Regarding DSL Security

Yes, it will give...

you more protection and probably more things to do... but,

Are you willing to buy or pay for the protection?
Are those protection is in their side (server) or its should be install in your pc?

There are no such single application that can protect you.... use as many as you can handle (to configure correctly, daily/weekly update, scan, etc.)

Beside, windows 98 is almost non supported by MS anymore.... I suggest that you upgrade to windows xp if possible... (or maybe you want to wait for Windows Vista?)

anyway, have a nice weekend.

1 Mans Biased Opinion Only but........

My natural instincts say to keep what you've got if they're giving you no problems. (I use AVG Free also). Then I saw you're using 98SE which makes me wonder since space & program size are so critical for your OS. But....
I have NO faith or trust in anything Yahoo (or AOL or Msn or..) which pushes me back to my original thought.
I think I've noticed that these ISP connected sites w/ their cross breeding for profits are being a little disingenious with their anti-spyware which removes competetors spyware but ignores THEIR OWN spyware they plant while trying to make you feel secure (LOL).
Last night, Hotmail downloaded a ''tracking cookie'' on me which got past my CCleaner & Spybot Bad Download Blocker and caused machine to crash & freeze all the way down to Bios level !! Took 1/2 hour to clean up enough to get to login screen. Have seen similar via them from Mediaplex & Adfarm which also crashed computer. The ONLY thing (& MS Update) I ever use IE for is Hotmail and problem was in IE cache (attempted to change system memory settings).
Yahoos touted AV allowed 3 copies of a Trojan, Supposedly for free AV, spoofed from Net-Integration[who'd been hacked] through so enough said there. See Link below for another Suprise Idea:

I repeat: NO faith !! Keep what you got & be happy!! Just MHO !!

Good Point, Bob. When I was running 98SE, I also...

found size critical and so used Kerio v 2.15 as the smallest reputable one I could find. I beleive it's no longer available from Kerio. It was only 2.16 Megs versus current version (free 'til year end) at 5.1 megs.
Given that, I figured if he's already got ZA and used the space then might as well keep as Sygate is also up there & even Outpost 1 is 4.5 megs. Sad to say I couldn't find a dwnld of Kerio2.15 via Google tho I have a copy in my docs folder.

(NT) See Kerio PWF 2.15 on LEFT Side Down About 2 Inches.

Good Question! At That Site There is a Kerio Help Forum..

and I'm not sure that type of firewall really needs much upgrading. Unfortunately, their newer versions add bells & whistles bulking up the resources draw. Mind you, for little money you can get a router (effectively a hardware firewall)(my wired D-link was $19 Canadian) but it won't prevent a trojan already on system from calling out. You can protect up to 4 computers sharing net access behind it. Saving a second net connection fee paid for router in 1st month. I think with Kerio protecting the outbound & router blocking all unrequested inbound you'd be reasonably safe (with money left for X-Mas!!).
