From: Anders:
I had the same problem that you have. Try NetVeda Safety.Net, it's free and
seems fast an efficient. You can find it at download.com.
Thanks for the pointer Anders... I'll give it a try.
From: Philip Nienhuis:
How long is "so long"?
Here's a comparision:
L100\W98SE\Norton2000FW
25 seconds - From powering on until desktop appears.
40 seconds - To stop of HDD activity & Norton firewall loaded.
L110\W98SE\ZoneAlarmFW
18 seconds - From hitting W98 at W2K boot menu until desktop appears.
72 seconds - To stop of HDD activity & ZA firewall loaded.
I have the same problem with ZA on the desktop. ZA is the last to load, and
bogs down the boot to desktop process. I've been keeping ZA updated to the
newest versions for security purposes. The newer versions take much more
time to boot than the older ones did.
I still run ZA 2.6.<something> on all my Windows installations
You must have a Pro version installed, not the free version that is
currently at v6.1.737 ... How does your version compare to mine as far as
load times in W98SE?
only "nag" is a start-up screen displaying for 3 or 4 seconds.
That seems to be just in W2K.... right?
Some alternatives:

^___ Anyone tryied these?
BTW, I could download Sygate Personal Firewall 5.6 just a minute ago
through the pcworld link above.....
Sure... the older versions are still out there. But try this URL on the
Sygate site for downloading their free 'Personal Firewall':
