Firewall needed?

I need a firewall and I was hoping I could get some first hand recommendations. I know I will sound weird completely but I am still using Windows 98, because my configuration is a very old one. Now, I granted it internet access and I want my PC to be secure because I am mainly using it for business purposes. Any ideas on what I should use?

First of all, I do not see any point in still using Windows 98. It is outdated! I do not know which configuration you have but Windows XP will run on almost anything if you configure it right, it is just important you have enough hard disk space. So, you should just install it and give it classic windows look that will save your RAM memory and graphic memory too. As for the firewall, Windows XP has a default one, and it is functioning OK. If not, you should download a program called Zone Alarm, it is a great firewall, I had it installed while I was still using Windows 98.
