One of my old machines that still runs on w98 crashed badly during the latest ZoneAlarm update. Took me about six hours over a month to debug it and now I don't think I will reload their Shareware firewall on it again.

--- I didn't bother trying the shareware, i bought it at the store so it's the full copy. Also running a faster computer, 3.02ghz, processor, 1 gig ram, 7200rpm drive, updates don't interfere with my normal computing needs ( internet+watching dvds at teh same time.
Fortunately for me, i work near a major software saler, so i can just buy what i need after researching and when i can afford it. I don't mind spending the money to take a "load" off my mind when i'm computing.
I've had all kinds of blue screen problems with Zone Alarm and Windows 98SE. Since going to Kerio's free version 4.1.2 I've never looked back. It's best feature is the low resources it consumes.
