Five ports that I heard may be vulnerable. Can someone verify this?

I have no idea..

You didn't mention what type of firewall (hardware or software) or if you
had properly configured it/checked its configuration - nor am I sitting at
your desktop where I can start to determine this type of information for
you. =) Should you be concerned?

I have a software firewall.

Hmm, I used the port probe thing for the 5 ports and they were all stealth
^_^.

i would like to suggest turning off my firewall while I try the shields up,
but god knows what would happen in the time I had it switched off. I would
put money down that i would get "owned" by somat undesirable!

I have run ShieldUp with my firewall turned off.....and for the 2 or 3
minutes it takes to run no one actually took over my computer.no virus
turned virulant...no spyware spied....no hacker hacked..no keylogger
logged.......I managed to survive!!! Whoopee
