cello_me Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 I haven't seen my favorites security software around here, so I think it's time to post instead of reading:Best Firewall around: LAST - FREE- Jetico v1http://www.jetico.com/jpfirewall.htmBest HIPS around:LAST - FREE - System Safety Monitor 2.0.8.583 http://www.syssafety.com/Both of them working flawlessy on my WinME box (Celeron 650Mhz, 246 MB RAM)In my opinion, combined together, they form the strongest and lightest security suite available on 9x Systems.
Drugwash Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 To be honest, I never used any firewall or resident antivirus on my 98SE system, and I'm still alive and kickin'. No router or any other fancy stuff.The only protection I've ever used was Ad-Aware (1.06 R1 being the latest usable on Win9x) and Spyware Blaster, combined with occasional scans from Trend Micro's Sysclean Package (requires the pattern signature package), only when I suspected something fishy.

noguru Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 One little remark, Xnview is not a multimedia tool, it's a picture viewer/converter just like Irfanview. It should be listed there.
niknak Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 Great ideaThis thread is a very good idea as it allows us to list fully functional software for 98 and share our experiences of it. Some software will work on one machine and not on another due to configuration of the PC. As anyone thought of doing the same for 95 OSR2?.http://www.msfn.org/board/style_emoticons/default/whistling.gifhttp://www.msfn.org/board/style_emoticons/...t/whistling.gif

dencorso Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 (edited) @ galahs:I think you should group Microsoft IntelliPoint and Kensington under a new heading: Mouse DriversYou did not yet add HDD Health, from my last post, here's some more info: its a S.M.A.R.T. monitor for HDDsIt's the LAST FREE v. 2.1 beta, build 159. You also did not include PopUpKiller, but don't do it just yet, because I've just found out the project was resurrected and there is a new version I mean to test. About it, more later. Keep on the great work! This topic sure rocks, and you do too! Edited November 19, 2007 by dencorso
