the suggestion to try oldapps is VALID, a lot of current version firewalls
no longer support running well in 98, I beleive thats why you were pointed
that direction.
ANY protection is better then none

Take a look at:

I have been running Sygate on my Win98 for years with
excellent results.

An outdated personal firewall running on an outdated operating system,
both of which will not receive any kind of support or updates anymore.
Not a reasonable thing to do when it comes to computer security.

If you have a genuine need to run Windows 98, maybe you should
use another device that separates the 98 box from the rest of the
network. You could still use the 98 box, but put it behind say an
OpenBSD box running PF, squid, and spamd perhaps.

You could also use a hardware firewall device to separate it from
the rest of the network.

The likelyhood of you actually finding what you are asking for is
extremely low so this is probably your best option.
