Zone Alarm free edition installed two years ago provides outbound protection but has not blocked intrusions since July 2006 when Microsoft stopped supporting Windows Millennium. Any recommended free firewalls available that are compatible with WM? Thanks.

I still have the old version of Zone Alarm 2.6. It works fine when I turn it on and use it. Only do that if I connect without My Router. Firewalls are not like Anti Virus software you don't need to update them. You can find all the Free Firewalls at oldversion.com if you want to try something else.

Steve Is it possible that the reason the status page indicates zero intrusions is that there have been no attempts to do so? Thanks for the firewall web site.

Check your Firewall at GRC.com. I think the owner of the Web site still uses zone alarm 2.0 himself. He also has a lot of info on computer security http://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?rh1dkyd2
