A good forum for asking questions, then getting them answered.

I'll start:

Umm..this site is very informative..perhaps you will find your answers here? Link

Other than that I would recommend Zone Alarm as it does have the ability to close and or stealth your open ports..at that site there are various tests you can run on your system to check vulnerabilities.

Hope this helps,

Your welcome, To have the ability to rate, you have to become a WC subscriber, I think there is another way but it takes awhile I believe..becoming a WC subscriber has it's benefits plus supports the site itself..it really is worth it..

Through Artistic contribution and being judged by your peers..::laughs:: the artists and wizops of WC..

I dont exactly know the specifics of it, perhaps someone that does will jump in and explain it..
That really is as far as I understand it, and it may not be correct.

How do I close my open ports? Your Port Probe shows that I have some open ports that should be closed, but I don't know how to close them. Why don't you include some information about how to close each of those ports?

Low numbered "system ports" are generally opened by various Internet server applications running within a computer. Therefore there is no single "standard" program that opens each type of port. For example, port 80 is the default port through which web browsers communicate with web servers. So if port 80 is open (and you're not running one of the Evil Port Monitors) you probably have a web server of some sort running on your machine. But the port probe has no way of knowing which web server you might be running. But it does tell you what type of server typically uses each type of port. That's really the best it can do. (Note that even ICQ has a personal web page option that opens port 80!)
